My #WideCutCountry year-end edition is coming up 10am-noon mtn today on #CKUA NOT a countdown, but just some faves of 2025
This post shows a ton of my Canadian faves (+ honourary Canadian @gurfmorlix.bsky.social who released TWO albums this year) and there are more than I can fit in to one show.
Nice @fervorcoulee.bsky.social !! So cool that you compared our playlists and even cooler that there is only one from each show: #widecutcountry and The Bluegrass Hour. We three did good! Algorithms suck!!
Make your list & check it twice. You'll probably want some of these yourself OR for Christmas-loving friends.
Tune in #ckua #widecutcountry and enjoy! #yeefreakinhaw
