1986 was a great year. Top Gun was the most popular film. Alf made its debut on TV. It was the year I was born. And it was the year that brought some life back to the unbelievably dismal country music scene of the early '80s. 1986 was the year that brought us the debuts of Steve Earle, Randy Travis, Lyle Lovett, and Dwight Yoakam.  read more »

The Gin Palace Jesters, that swell honky tonk band out of Chicago, have released a new cd, Roadhouse Riot...and other songs with words. The Jesters' acoustic rythm guitar player, Ken Mottet, is going to call in tomorrow morning around 10:45am and give us the low-down on this new recording. Ken Mottet also happens to be a Fairfield native, but you probably knew that already.

Besides the interview, the show will feature the great country, bluegrass, western swing, and rockabilly music you've come to expect from Folkabillyrockblues.

So tune in, won't you?

Hey there - Corey Hickenbottom here inviting you to wake up New Years morning(that'd be tomorrow) to the rockin' sounds of Folkabillyrockblues!

I'm a-gonna keep it jumpin'!

I'll also be spinning some brand new music from The Gin Palace Jester's new cd.

That's right, folks! Tomorrow morning's Folkabillyrockblues Hour is dedicated to the wonderful, lovely, and talented Dolly Parton. It's the show we've all been waiting for! Spanning most of her career including a bunch of the great duets she did with Porter Wagoner. If you love Dolly, you'll love tomorrow's show! Don't miss it!

We're going to be playing all Elvis and nothing but the King on tomorrow's Folkabillyrockblues Hour.  He didn't quite create rock n roll, but he sure as heck created a sensation and some none too shabby music as well.  My good friend Kent Miller is a huge Elvis fan with an astounding Elvis music collection.  He's picked out a few of his favorites to play on the show(and not just the same ol same ol songs you always hear neither).  Plus lots of Elvis trivia. 

So make sure to tune in tomorrow and listen to one of the legends.

Yesterday Chris Poole, my good friend and neighbor, and I got together, listened to a bunch of music, and came up with a swell batch of swell songs.  Some that he brought and some that I had.  We'll be in the studio tomorrow morning at 11 to play 'em for you.   Its Folkabillyrockblues with a Chris Poole twist.  Songs from Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Burnette Trio, Starlight Mints, Gang of Four, Daniel Johnston, and Tom Waits will be played, just to name a few.  It'll be a good time, so I reccomend tuning in! 

Hey!  Don't forget to tune into Folkabillyrockblues March 13 at 11:00 AM!  Erin and Tim Duffy will be performing live in the studio.  Don't miss it!  My great friend Jed Miller may or may not make it, but he did hand me some music to play.

Plus don't miss an upcoming show when rock n roll star of stage and screen, Chris Poole is back Folkabillyrockbluesin' it up!  If I were you, I'd make sure to tune in!  Folkabillyrockblues airs every Tuesday morning from 11-12 and every Friday morning from 7-8.
