- Larry Scott (radio personality)
Larry Scott (Born in Modesto, CA, September 27, 1938) was a full-time country music disc jockey who hosted a number of country music shows in the U.S. First announcing on a radio station in Neosho, Missouri in 1955, Scott later moved to the west coast where he worked at radio stations KBBQ and KLAC from 1967 to 1982.
Scott was noted in country music circles for hosting "The Interstate Road Show" which aired overnight on KWKH from Shreveport, Louisiana and on KVOO (now KFAQ) out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The show involved a mix of country music, news, vital weather reports and road conditions for truckers that were on the road. Mr. Scott is also known as a devotee of Western swing music and hosts Western Swing revival shows across the Southwestern United States. The most recent show honoring this genre occurred in Wichita Falls, Texas in 2006.
Larry Scott also released an album of truck driving songs for Alshire Records in 1972 titled "Keep On Truckin"' (A/S 5358). One song on the LP, "Phantom 570," alluded to his Phantom 570 truckers' show in which he played host on KLAC (570) radio in Los Angeles. A popular track from the album was "Diesel Cecil."
Mr. Scott was retired from the radio business for a time and ran a trucking service out of Terrell, Texas. He has returned to Shreveport to host several one-hour shows on KWKH on Sunday mornings.
