Howdy-hi Buckaroos and Buckarettes!
Welcome to Calling All Cowboys, your source for Western and Cowboy entertainment originating from 106.7 KPOV-LP FM Bend, Oregon. Ride the dusty high-desert with me each week as we explore music, poetry and old-time radio, all with a decidedly Western bent.
You’ll hear tasty tunes from Contemporary Cowpokes like: Riders In The Sky, Don Edwards, Joni Harms, Chris LeDoux, Ian Tyson, Michael Martin Murphey, Sourdough Slim, Juni Fisher, Richard Elloyan, Cowboy Nation, Brenn Hill, Kip Calahan, Patty Clayton, Ben Crane, Jon Chandler, Lorraine Rawls, Bill Barwick, Curly Musgrave and Belinda Gail.
The “Old-Timers” will be in the mix as well yodelling their way through the show: Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Rex Allen, Marty Robbins, Carolina Cotton, Tex Ritter, Sons Of The Pioneers, Riders of The Purple Sage, Johnny Western, Carl Sprague, Billie Maxwell, Pasty Montana, Powder River Jack, and Ken Maynard.
If Western Swing is your thing then check out these toe-tappin’ practitioners of Cowboy Jazz: Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Hot Club Of Cowtown, Craig Chambers, Don Walser, Asleep At The Wheel, Tom Morrell & The Time-Warp TopHands, Junior Brown, Bill Boyd and his Country Ramblers, Spade Cooley, Stephanie Davis, Bob Boatright, and Billy Cate.
Plenty of Cowboy Poetry is thrown in for good measure as well. Fer’ instance: Waddie Mitchell, Red Stegall, Paul Zarzyski, Wally McRae, Yvonne Hollenbeck, Pat Richardson, Virginia Bennett, Randy Rieman, and Joel Nelson.
Ride back through those thrilling days of yesteryear with some of these great Old-Time Radio legends:The Lone Ranger, Red Ryder, Gene Autry's Melody Ranch, The Six-Shooter, Have Gun Will Travel, The Cisco Kid, Frontier Gentleman, Gun Smoke, and Hopalong Cassidy.
I also feature in-depth interviews with some of the top names in the Western genre like: Tom Russell, Wylie Gustafson of Wylie and the Wild West, RW Hampton, Katie Lee, Dave Stamey, and Glen Ohrlin.
So reach deep and find that inner cowpoke, pard, and ride along with me as I take you down trails you never knew existed or have long forgotten.

May 10, 1869. The day that changed America forever! That’s the day that the first transcontinental railway was completed connecting the riches of the West with the commerce of the East. Celebrate this occasion with us as we load up the ponies into a stock car and ride the rails for the whole first hour. Then we trot on over to Wyoming to drop in and watch Jared Rogerson buck out 5 tracks from his new CD, “Dirt.” This young man has traded strumin’ and yodelin’ for drivin’ drum beats and blisterin’ electric guitar licks but the “cowboy” in his music still shines through. If you like Chris LeDoux and Brenn Hill you’ll most likely really dig “Dirt!” Bio and band info included. Then it’s time for the ladies to lope to the head of the cavvy followed up by some mighty tasty western swing.
