For those of us who love the romance of the "western lifestyle," Joe Baker perpetuates this unique form of Americana. With his slow southern drawl and a tip of his hat, he will make you feel as if you were having a cup of coffee with him by a flickerin' campfire when you tune in to his "Backforty Bunkhouse Show" airing on “New Mexico’s Bear” and “W-105” in Ruidoso, New Mexico.
Joe's radio show is broadcast throughout all the western states and is strickly "western." The show is reminiscent of radio programs that aired in the 40's and 50's. He plays requests, holds contests weekly, giving away new CD's & Tee-shirts or backstage passes to concerts and has a diverse and loyal listening audience. He is helping to preserve this art form by promoting it and his younger listeners are proof of that.
Born and raised in Mineral Wells, Joe is not your typical Disc Jockey. His first radio program on radio station KYXS in Mineral Wells/Weatherford, Texas was called "Horse Sense on the Finish Line" where he handicapped racehorses for Lone Star Park in their inaugural and second season. Next, he had a documentary show called "Horse Sense on the Cutting Edge" which traced the roots of the cutting horse in Parker county, Texas. The Backforty Bunkhouse Show began at KWES Radio in Ruidoso on June, 2001 until March, 2003, when he joined MTD Broadcasting, Inc. The umbrella over radio stations KNMB / KWMW / KIDX / KTUM and KRUI.
KNMB, 96.7 FM, "New Mexico’s Bear" and KWMW, 105.1FM are both 100,000 Watt stations, with studios in Ruidoso, New Mexico. His Backforty Bunkhouse Show airing every Saturday morning from 6AM to 10AM on "New Mexico’s Bear" and Regional Radio “W-105!” reports to the Texas Music Charts, Academy of Western Artists – Sunset Charts and CCMA Indie Charts.
He was nominated for Disc Jockey of the Year in 2002 and 2003 by the Academy of Western Artists and KNMB, 96.7FM, “New Mexico’s Bear” nominated for Radio Station of the Year in 2004. In 2004 he was awarded Academy of Western Artist's Will Rogers Award for disc jockey of the year, the Cowtown Society of Western Music disc jockey of the year and was inducted into the Cowtown Society of Western Music Hall of Fame. He has been featured in numerous magazines and other publications throughout the United States and Canada. He is also a member of the Western Music Broadcasters Association (WMBA) and formerly on the board of directors for the Western Music Association. He is currently membership director for the Cowtown Society of Western Music.
Joe is a Co-Founder of the only Western Music Radio Chart published not only nationally, but internationally through Power Source Magazine (a monthly periodical) in Nashville, Tennessee. There has never been a western music chart directed solely towards western music in the history of the western music genre until January, 2005.
