From Tex Ritter to Shania Twain, this week in country music has it all! We celebrate Jo Dee Messina’s birthday and her record-breaking run, remember Tex Ritter’s 1945 No. 1 hit, and mark the final broadcast of the legendary Louisiana Hayride. Plus, Hank Williams records “Moanin’ the Blues,” Shania blows out the candles, and Gentleman Jim Reeves is remembered. It’s a full week of milestones, memories, and music history from August 25th through 31st.
