(above) Tennessee Jim, with his wife Martha and good friend Rex Allen Jr.
Rex Allen Jr. is President of Truckers Radio USA, and it was over breakfast in Nashville one day that Rex invited Jim to develop his own radio show. Jim and Martha gladly jumped on board. Martha had grown up in the radio business and helps Jim plan and research Full Gallop. You'll hear her voice occasionally in the breaks.
Jim loves the opportunity to share his favorite western music with a global audience. "Western Music is bigger than a genre," he says. "It's about the message." Every episode of Full Gallop includes some of the best western music from the past, along with "New West" singer-songwriters. You'll also get to sample Jim's own work with the Diamond W Wranglers and tunes he's produced for some famous names in the Western Music world.
