Press Release from KHXI FM, Cowlington, OK
November 16, 2012
Jimmy Parker and “Thought I’d Be Home By Now” has easily shown why he is king with a decisive hold on the most requested song on KHXI-FM. This multi-talented artist has shown that his passion for his music and the endearing story lines pull the listener in and tears at the heart. His brand of music can only be described as “pure and genuine country”.
Once again our listeners have shown that the Independent artists is a force to be recognized, as the likes of Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and other national artists have fallen to the wayside and didn’t even make it to the top 15 artists. This week was indeed a week of reckoning as Amy Rose and “Redneck Reunion” came in second. TJ Maddux and “Homegrown Country Girl” is third, Lynn Hooker’s “Good ole’ Boys” is fourth, Carl Grimes “Just a Plain Piece of Cloth” is fifth, Doug Briney is 6th, Angie Rosener is 7th, Mike Archer is 8th, Mike Lynn is 9th and a real surprise, John Conlee with his classic song “They Also Serve” came in at number 10.
The Independent artist has shown, time and time again, that they are as good as, but oft times are better than, the likes of the national acts that dominate other radio stations. KHXI-FM is and will always play what our listeners want and not what some big shot sitting at a desk in LA or New York tells us what our listeners need to hear. We listen to what you want to hear, and you have spoken. You, our loyal listener have spoken and we listened. The Independent artist is here to stay.
We want to thank all of the artists for giving the entire world this great music.
