To me this will always be 4 Country Reporter on old KRLD-TV in Dallas. Channel 4

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this!

I have been looking for this theme song for a while now.

Every time I watch Texas Country Reporter I feel cheated by the opening/closing theme now being used. It's the only one my kids know and you can bet I will be playing this one for them tonight.

This is definitely going in my favorites.

anybody stationed at Fort Hood would hear the 1st Cav Div band play this...

This original theme is so superior to the similar tune that they commissioned themselves so as to not have to pay royalties.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!! I have never been able to find this version. Only the Willie Nelson Version and some electric guitar version by The Reivers. When I was at Texas Tech in the mid 90's, there was a Western Montage and part of it was played in that by the band at Half Time of the football games.

I will NEVER forget the day Bob Phillips came to my school when I was in 6th grade:)

Awesome day!!!

I love this song - I remember my father loved it and it always seemed to be on the radio during my driving lessons out on the country backroads around San Antonio with him. Fond memories from a native San Antonio, Texan!

Love how TCR used the main riff from this in a variety of instruments: piano, guitar, etc. It was background music to the features. Maybe even electric guitar? Always effective..

We played this in the LBJ High School Band in 1974-5. My all time favorite. Right now I'm trying to resurrect it by placing it in a patriotic, Texas-centric medley.

Say, I remember that tune. I heard it when I watched the '8 Country Reporter' on WFAA-TV-8 in Dallas/Fort Worth. Yes, that show used to air on KDFW, when it was a CBS affiliate but is now a Fox O&O. I heard that the currently-named 'Texas Country Reporter' later aired on KTVT CBS 11 and KTXA 21 but now it airs on RFD-TV. Thank you very much indeed for posting!

LOVE IT ! I've got the original LP as well--- in storage. And it does remind me of "Bob Phillips 4 Country Reporter" in Dallas. MANY THANKS for posting this !

I can't believe I finally found this after all these years! I remember hearing it on the original "4 Country Reporter" show back in the '70s. Takes me back to my mom and step-dad's house in Irving, watching the TV on Saturday evening. Thanks for putting this up!
