As a kid, Rick Jackson was a Beatles and Led Zeppelin fan, although his dad liked the music of Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard and other classic Country artists, and that’s what he brought into Rick’s life. They both loved music, and they spent a lot of time haggling over control of the radio dial. But, it was his dad's radio after all, so generally, dad’s music won out.

Fast forward to Rick Jackson’s early years in radio…. Rick decided he was going to be a radio star, and as luck would have it, his first job in 1974 and was at a country station, KBRN in Brighton, Colorado. The first song Rick played on the air was "Linda on my Mind" by Conway Twitty. Rick says not only will he never forget it, but he recalls thinking, "What kind of crazy name is that - Conway Twitty"? But, it was a radio job and he was thrilled to be on the air. Rick’s next job was at a station in Denver, KERE, and there he felt he’d hit the big time. As it turned out, KERE was also a Country station, and although Rick felt that maybe he’d been typecast, he also realized he was living his radio dream.

Rick Jackson went on to host the morning show at KYGO/Denver for more than a decade, and some years after working at that legendary country station he created his own nationally syndicated, Classic Country show. Now known as RICK JACKSON’S COUNTRY CLASSICS, the weekly program showcases Rick’s knowledge of Country music over the years and he presents it with all of the passion, context and good taste that he picked up long ago in his radio career.

History of the Rodeo Opry

The Centennial Rodeo Opry grew from a love of music and a love of family, and has become an important part of Oklahoma’s musical culture and history. Starting as a backyard gathering of family and friends who loved to play and sing country music, the Opry was formed and grew under the guidance of Granville “Grant” Leftwich (1929 – 2006). Starting at the OKC National Guard Armory as a family-oriented country show, the “Oklahoma Opry” was officially launched in 1977 in the renovated theater once called “Knob Hill” located in the Capitol Hill district of Oklahoma City. Later, moving into the historic Stockyard City in 2002, the Rodeo Opry found its new name and new home in the Rodeo Theater where it now thrives. Weekly Saturday night shows introduce talented new performers who share the stage with special guests, OKC favorites, and the professional Opry house band in a family-friendly, live music show proclaimed “Oklahoma’s Official Country Music Show.”
