Email | Facebook

Hey everybody! I was popular in Montgomery radio in 1999–

In 2004 I  helped flip 98.9 from Top 40 to “Bama Country”– then

I took a few years off and now I am back– as fresh and relevant as yesterday’s headlines!

You can hear me everyday of your life from 5:30a-9a– What an easy gig! And I get a buncha free stuff for working at a radio station–it is really a cool place to work–you gotta getcha a radio job!

I am so lazy and radio is a perfect fit for me– I like to run ( a little ). So come on in- put your boots on! Wear your cowboy hat and getcha a mouthful of chewing tobacco — ( ok not the last part )

I am your morning cowpoke– John Garrett on Bama Country

  • JOSEPH BARLOW

    heard you gripping about price of gas this morning. care to expose the facts .
    look up eclair process.natural gas to gasoline.sold to AREF(OPEC).

  • joseph barlow

    Mr. Garrett. complaining about high gas price is pointless. time to educate public.
    natural gas to gasoline = 60 cents per gallon. coal to gasoline under $1 per gallon
    kerogen to diesel under $2 per gallon. plastic garbage to diesel under $1.25 per
    gallon. look up carbon capture skid= seawater to fuel=$3-$6 per gallon.
    everything but water is cheaper to make fuel than crude oil.

  • GG

    Every time you introduce the song “I Drive Your Truck” you act real flippant about it. Saying this guy is driving his buddy’s truck. Have you ever really listened to the song? It’s about a young man whose soldier brother has died and this is his way of grieving. He feels close to the brother while driving the truck and remembering the brother he has lost.
