Look for a full story (with photos) on the gig to be posted here soon. "Keep It Country" website manager Bob Timmers, along with fan Jerry Weigand, drove from Wisconsin to Nashville's Station Inn to join in this historic event. Larry also knocked 'em dead at the Grand Old Opry last weekend, Oct. 29, 30!! It sure looks like Tennessee country radio is behind Larry Cordle and Lonesome Standard Time 100%. Another victory for the comeback of roots music.


Their song - "Murder on Music Row"
Bob Timmers, from the Rockabilly Hallof Fame says: (Oct. 14, 1999)
"'Murder on Music Row' ... it's HOT before it even HITS the street. This song has the possibility of single handedly turning the direction of today's country music back to it roots. A work of art that should be a smash with all die hard country, bluegrass and rockabilly fans world-wide."
