As part of my exploration of syndicated radio shows, I ran across a syndicated show by Billy "Crash" Craddock. Craddock had a minor American Top 20 radio hit with the lascivious "Rub It In" in 1974. To give you an idea of how broken the American radio audience was at that time, he was known as "Mr. County Rock" to the C&W audience at the time, but his "rock" connection is mainly that he has a strong appreciation of 1950's Rock and Roll, which shows in his covers of Chuck Berry, the Everly Brothers, and Elvis Presley. Which is not bad, but these days wouldn't count as "rock' very much. And your average rock fan would be thinking Eagles or Poco if they heard "country rock" at the time.
For a large part of this show, he's channeling the big emotional Elvis Presley ballad style. While this isn't personally my style of music, Craddock seems like a decent sort and you may find this of interest.
Anyway... at the very least, this is unusual for Voodoo Wagon! We don't do a lot of Country & Western!
