REDNECK JUNCTION RADIO PRESENTS:
THE TEDDY GENTRY 74TH BIRTHDAY TAKEOVER
Three Days. One Legend. Zero Shame.
If you thought Redneck Junction Radio was about to let Teddy Wayne Gentry slide quietly into 74... bless your heart.
We’re going to throw the kind of birthday bash that makes the Fourth of July look like a church potluck.
For three full days the airwaves belong to the man who co‑wrote the backbone of Alabama’s sound — the bass‑thumpin’, harmony‑buildin’, soft‑spoken Southern force behind hits like “Why Lady Why,” “My Home’s in Alabama,” “Fallin’ Again,” “Give Me One More Shot,” “Sad Lookin’ Moon,” and “How Do You Fall in Love.”
And honey… we’re celebrating every last one of them.
THE TEDDY TAKEOVER: WHAT YOU’RE GETTING
WALL‑TO‑WALL ALABAMA
From sunrise to moonshine, we’re spinning every Teddy‑touched masterpiece right now 'til midnight on Teddy's Birthday, January 22nd, 2026 when Teddy becomes officially 74!
If he wrote it, co‑wrote it, hummed it, or even breathed near it — it’s on the playlist.
PODCASTS THAT GO DEEPER THAN A WELL IN AUGUST
We’re releasing special‑edition episodes filled with:
- Behind‑the‑scenes stories
- Fan confessions
- Band history
- The kind of emotional chaos only Teddy Bears can provide
If you’ve ever wanted to hear grown adults bicker fiercely about the bass line in “Fallin’ Again,” then this is your thing.
INTERVIEWS HOTTER THAN A FRYING PAN IN JULY
Expect:
- Artists who worked with Teddy
- Fans who idolize Teddy
- DJs who claim Teddy's beard has medicinal qualities
- And maybe even a handful of people who can't believe he wrote “Why Lady Why” at 27
THE TEDDY BEAR NATION RISES
We share birthday messages from fans, tributes, and the rare but crazily quirky love mail from fans who worship Teddy as the Patron Saint of Southern Harmony.
If you still think Teddy is just a background for Randy Owen,
Baby, how are you spending your life?
WHY? BECAUSE TEDDY GENTRY IS 74 AND STILL FINE AS CORNBREAD
This man made the Alabama sound from the ground up.
He wrote the songs that lifted half the South.
He’s the hushed storm beneath the largest band in the history of country music.
And Redneck Junction Radio is honoring him in the only way we’ve figured out:
Loudly. Proudly. Sassily. And for three whole days. January 20, 21, AND 22nd.
ONLY ON REDNECK JUNCTION RADIO
No other station is bold enough, Southern enough, or unhinged enough to pull this off.
Three days.
One legend.
A whole lotta Alabama.
Tune in. Turn it up. Tell your mama.
It’s Teddy’s 74th — and we’re celebrating like the South depends on it.
