Program Chronicles Oklahoma Rock and Roll
 KGOU brings you a very special limited-run weekly program, Oklahoma Rock and Roll with Steve Ripley, Saturdays at 4 p.m. throughout the summer and fall.
Hosted by The Tractors' singer-songwriter-guitarist-producer Steve Ripley, the program takes listeners to the roots of today's Rock sounds. Many of those roots were embedded in Oklahoma, from the music of Charlie Christian and Lowell Fulson, to Wanda Jackson and Conway Twitty, to J.J. Cale and Leon Russell. There's more about the program on our Programming page.
