The station has played a wide range of classic and contemporary country, pop and R&B. A recent half-hour segment included Brooks’ cover of Ashley McBryde’s “Girl Going Nowhere,” which segued into Lady A’s “Just A Kiss,” Olivia Rodrigo’s “Driver’s License” and Chris LeDoux’s “Hooked on an 8 Second Ride.”For Brooks, the most gratifying part has been breaking down barriers between genres and eras of music.
