Darwin Lee Hill: Darwin Lee’s Real Hillbilly Music Hour Continued
WHVW is locally owned and operated, profoundly original, and, in an era of corporate ownership and formula programming, entirely unlikely. Since its sale in 1992 to “Pirate” Joe Ferraro, this self-proclaimed “hip spot on your dial” and “best station in the nation” features a line-up of American roots music rarely heard elsewhere, much of it spun from old 78-rpm recordings. The Real Hillbilly Music Hour fits nicely into the station's eclectic
mix of early rock and roll, classic R&B, doo-wop, gospel, and country. Darwin Lee is himself contemptuous of “what passes for country music” these days, let alone what passes for country radio. His show, like WHVW itself, is a last stand against musical homogenization, a bittersweet reminder of days when radio might be idiosyncratic, spontaneous, intensely local, and, even, sometimes, downright strange. Here is longtime June Webb fan and friend Darwin Lee with his favorite June Webb song.
Update: Darwin Lee retired. For Darwin Lee fans, go to the Southern Music Research Center at https://www.southernmusicresearch.org/items/show/1573. There you will find The Darwin Lee Hill Collection. It features 60 or so interviews with country music singers.
