WPLO Country Caravan

The Country Caravan featured a mix of lively DJ sets, jam-packed talent showcases, and major events.

WPLO-AM 590’s Country Caravan was a defining force in Atlanta radio during the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, marrying music, community, and personality in a way that few stations ever matched.

All the photos in this post are from my Mother’s collection of Country Music memorabilia. They were taken by me, either at Nalley or Sandy Springs WPLO Caravan in July 1967.
