It's almost Easter time, and around here, we love to add some country music to the list of course.

Welcome to the holiest week on the annual Christian calendar. This week, we take time to reflect on the Last Supper, the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

As we approach Easter Sunday, check out this Don Chase playlist of a few of his country music and gospel favorites.
