Had to make several trips between Atl and Valdosta in a short period of time a couple weeks ago. During that stretch, I discovered this radio station in Macon. They caught my attention when I was tuning through the stations and heard Hayes Carll. I kept listening and heard DBT, Isbell, Gram Parsons, Allmans (of course), all kinds of great Americana, blues and soul. I was just kind of blown away that I was hearing a locally owned radio station in this day and age. I've started streaming it during the workday, thought some of you might like to check it out. They're currently playing Fixing to Die by Col. Bruce in tribute.

I realize how much this reads like an ad, but I swear I'm just trying to be helpful.

Thanks for the tip. Listening now and it is just as you described.

Really glad you tipped me off to this. I live about sixty miles south of Macon and I've been listening to this station ever since you posted this. It's great! And it is really weird to have a station like this here but man I am loving it. Heard McMurty singing Copper Canteen riding back from fishing last Friday afternoon. Heard the Truckers on there the other day, Kinky Hypocrite. And coming home from work Wednesday I heard Decoration Day!

Glad you guys are enjoying it! Just fired up the morning show and they're playing Isaac Hayes, so I think it's going to be a good day.

Heard Danko/Manuel the other day. Hearing that on terrestrial radio around here is weird and awesome. I love The Creek.
