Country And Bluegrass Internet Radio Station Nominated For Award By Live365
Website: http://www.ramradio.net Houston, TX, April 6, 2005 -- RAM Radio, an internet radio station, was recently nominated for two awards by Live365 – Best Country Music Station and Best Station to Discover New Music. The 24/7 station plays today's country and bluegrass music side by side with the pioneers of the sound. By playing "the Circle...Unbroken," a listener can expect to hear the history of country music starting from the earliest moments of recorded history, played on an actual 1897 graphophone, to the latest traditional country releases and today's vibrant independent artists. A typical day on RAM Radio will take listeners on a journey through the country music timeline. They'll hear a 1903 banjo tune by Fred Van Eps, as well as music from Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family, Uncle Dave Macon, Hank Williams, Bob Wills, Bill Monroe, Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, and George Jones, right up to Dale Watson, Dwight Yoakam, and Mark Chesnutt. They will also discover the traditional musicians that are not played on typical country radio, like JB Beverley and the Wayward Drifters, Scott H Biriam, and Kenneth Brian. RAM Radio's directors, Sam Sattler, Roy Ryan, and Pam McCluskey, started their station out of frustration with mainstream country radio. "The legends of country music are still recording music, but radio is not playing them. Loretta Lynn won GRAMMY awards for her album," says Pam McCluskey, "but you'd never find it on the FM dial. Aside from subscribing to satellite radio, there really isn't any place for fans of traditional country music to listen to the music they love." Along with the station, the staff maintains an online community called RealCountryMusic.org where the fans of traditional country music can spend time together, talk about the music they love, and even play a monthly Bingo game for prizes in their chatroom. "RealCountryMusic.org has become the lifeblood of RAM Radio," comments McCluskey. "We strive to serve the needs of country fans as they guide us and tell us what they want to hear on the station. I feel our recent nominations really belong to them." The 2nd Annual Best of Live365 Awards Ceremony will take place on April 30th at the Embassy Suites of San Francisco. Polls close Sunday, April 15th, at midnight. For more information about RAM Radio or RealCountryMusic.org, visit www.ramradio.net and www.realcountrymusic.org.
