As always Jay F takes a look at the big picture...Congrats to Coyote on their first month...As Jay says the first book could turn out to be quite impressive. However, since their initial blast of uncluttered, non-commercial country music they, in my opinion, have deteriorated and quickly at that. Blame it on bland jocks and, to me, it seems the music rotations are different. The battle will no doubt be interesting, however, I don't believe that KWNR has much to worry about.
