One You Might've Missed – Mother's Day Song – Randy Travis 'Angels'

Eric Cornish — Sun, 12 May 2013 14:00:12 +0000

Today, we delve back into the years of country music and the tunes that just didn’t get the national attention I believe they deserved. This one was one of those songs, and a song that should be played not only on Mother’s Day, but all the time. It’s Randy Travis’ ode to mom called ‘Angels’. [...]

One You Might've Missed – Lila McCann

Eric Cornish — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 14:00:54 +0000

I know a lot of people missed Lila McCann short career in the late 90′s and early 2000′s, but I know I didn’t. As a guy of roughly the same age as the young upstart, Lila had my full attention. You can tell by the young (and thin) dude, thrilled to be seen with Ms. [...]

One You Might've Missed – Trent Willmon 'On Again Tonight'

Eric Cornish — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 21:45:46 +0000

Trent Willmon is a name you might've heard a few times in country music. Then again, you may have never heard the name. He's tried over and over to put out a big hit, but has fallen sort. You may be familiar with his song 'Beer Man' or even the fun titled 'Dixie Rose Deluxe's Honky Tonk, Feed Store, Gun Shop, Used Car, Beer, Bait, BBQ, Barber Shop, Laundromat.' But one tune should've been his shot and I have no idea what went wrong.

One You Might've Missed – Ryan Shupe And The Rubberband

Eric Cornish — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 15:00:06 +0000

It’s time again to go back to the obscure archives to songs that were good, but didn’t make it as big as they should have. Here’s a band that could’ve been the next big thing. Ryan Shupe and The Rubberband came out at a time country was really lacking in bands. Beside Rascal Flatts, there [...]

One You Might've Missed – Sawyer Brown

Eric Cornish — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:31:58 +0000

If you’re among WKDQ’s younger listeners you might have missed the group Sawyer Brown altogether. That is really a shame because they are one of the best live shows you’ll EVER see. Even if you are a fan, this is a song that didn’t quite make the impact of “Some Girls Do” or “The Race [...]

One You Might've Missed – Matraca Berg

Eric Cornish — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 19:16:11 +0000

You may have never heard her name before, but chances are you’re very familiar with the songs she has written. Matraca Berg was responsible for big number one hits, including her most recent, Kenny Chesney’s ”You and Tequila.” (Watch Matraca Berg perform her version of “You and Tequila“). Her other hits include “Strawberry Wine” and “We Danced Anyway” by [...]

One You Might've Missed – Clark Family Experience

Eric Cornish — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 19:20:50 +0000

This family band has been through a lot of incarnations. I swear at one point The Clark Family had about 17 members. If you were at the Carrie Underwood concert at Roberts Stadium this past December, you saw the latest group, consisting of only three Clarks and a very rocked-up sound, called “Sons of Sylvia.” [...]

One You Might've Missed – Dean Brody

Eric Cornish — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 22:05:49 +0000

It was almost like this one vanished from the radio and so did its artist. Dean Brody gave us this great tune a couple of years ago, and I thought it was fitting with 4th of July around the corner. Check out the video for “Brothers”

One You Might've Missed – Father's Day Edition

Eric Cornish — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 18:37:20 +0000

Father's Day is this Sunday and there are a ton of songs that speak to and from dads in country music. This one from Tracy Lawrence slipped under the rug for most country listeners just a few years ago, but I understand it now more than I ever did back then. Check out the video to "Til I Was a Daddy Too."

One You Might've Missed – Jason Meadows

Eric Cornish — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 16:37:03 +0000

You may remember Jason Meadows from Nashville Star, but unlike stars like Miranda Lambert and Chris Young, Jason hasn’t been able to fully emerge from the show’s shadow. But, if you have a chance to see him live don’t miss it. This is one song that amazes me, in that it was never a hit. [...]

One You Might've Missed – John and Audrey Wiggins

Eric Cornish — Mon, 09 May 2011 19:48:18 +0000

Duo's seem to be on the rise in country music, with Thompson Square coming on strong featuring a husband and wife duo and Steel Magnolia an "item." We've seen a lot of sister groups over the years, brother groups as well. We've even seen the Judds together as mother and daughter. Very unusual however, was the pairing of brother and sister, John and Audrey Wiggins.

One You've Might've Missed – Shane Minor

Eric Cornish — Tue, 03 May 2011 13:08:07 +0000

It’s safe to say most of the country missed Shane Minor, but I still pop in his debut/farewell CD in every now and then and rock out. I’ve probably preformed this song more than Shane ever did at karaoke bars across Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana. Although Shane may not be the top artist in country [...]

One You Might've Missed – Sons Of The Desert

Eric Cornish — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 17:03:45 +0000

I have a feeling most the country missed Sons of the Desert as a whole, except for their guest vocals on Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance.” For those who didn’t get a chance to see and hear these dudes, enjoy!

One You Might've Missed: Shannon Lawson

Eric Cornish — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 20:45:53 +0000

In the summer of 2002, this huge voice came out of my radio with a song that, to me, was a perfect power country ballad. I thought to myself, “This guy is gonna be a huge star!” Well I wasn’t right, but that doesn’t make Kentucky native, Shannon Lawson any less of a talent. [...]

One You Might've Missed: Steve Holy

Eric Cornish — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 22:22:25 +0000

Before his latest hit, “Love Don’t Run” and even before his first number one, “Good Morning Beautiful,” Steve Holy treated us to his first single with a big band twist…In case you missed it, it’s always been a favorite of mine!

One You Might've Missed: The Ranch

Eric Cornish — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:35:27 +0000

I love finding little nuggets like this one that should’ve been big hits, but instead fell into the “radio stiff abyss.” (By the way, a “Stiff” is something us cool radio guys use to refer to a song that just didn’t become a chart hit). Good things came from this song, because when The Ranch [...]
