The jingles are from the "JR Country ID" package produced by Victoria's Seacoast Sound. RadioWest member Duncan Meiklejohn (Meiklemonster) shares "There were two male lead vocalists (on a number of different cuts), Gord Maxwell and myself. Morry Stearns sang in the group vocals with us plus (as I recall) he was also the writer/producer on this project."
