KFDI's Johnny Western grew up with a keen sense of Cowboys and Outlaws. He was raised in Northfield, Minnesota, the town where the James Gang had their raid on the First National Bank in 1876. Thank goodness, Johnny chose to favor the good guys in the white hats, like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Rex Allen and all the other great stars of the Western Movies. He knew from a very early age what he wanted to do in life. He wanted to be exactly like his Western heroes.
At age 15, while still in High School, Johnny became a deejay and singing cowboy on KDHD in Northfield. 'Billboard Magazine' stated he was the youngest deejay and singer on commercial radio in the United States at that time.
By age 16, he became a singing cowboy on KMMT-TV and got his first recording contract with J.O.C.O. Records, a Minneapolis-St. Paul label. In 1953–1954, Western had his own television show, 'Circle 6 Ranch Time', where he introduced the daily western movie. This helped make it possible for him to open shows for the likes of Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter, Rex Allen and others when they performed in the area. In the early 1950s, he began performing on the rodeo circuit with the Sons Of The Pioneers. In 1954, he moved to Hollywood and toured Canada with Gene Autry in 1956, where he met Johnny Cash, the man who would forever change his life.

Johnny Western wrote 'The Ballad Of Paladin', theme song for the TV series 'Have Gun Will Travel' starring Richard Boone, which ran from 1957 - 1963. Western was signed to Columbia Records by Mitch Miller. In 1958, Johnny Cash asked Western to join his show as emcee and singer. At Columbia, both Cash and Western were produced by the legendary Don Law. Johnny was a featured musician on most of Johnny Cash's recordings from August 1959 through April 1963. Johnny Western has appeared in over 50 western movies and TV westerns such as 'Have Gun Will Travel', 'Pony Express,' 'Gunsmoke,' 'Boots & Saddles,' 'Wells Fargo,' and 'Bat Masterson'. 'He sounds like a cowboy looks', said Waylon Jennings. Long before the current craze for western music, Johnny Western was playing and singing it his way. This set begins in 1952 with the original version of 'The Violet And The Rose', and continues through his Columbia, Philips, Hep and JRC sides. Rarities and obscurities take the Johnny Western story all the way up to 1981.

It's only fitting that the Western Music Hall Of Fame has honored this life long movie and television cowboy. His contributions to the cowboy culture rates right up there with all the folks he calls his friends and heroes of the silver screen. He will take his rightful place in the Hall Of Fame. Johnny is also a member of the Country Music Disc Jockey Hall Of Fame in Nashville and America's Old Time Country Music Hall Of Fame in Avoca, Iowa. In addition to his constant touring schedule, he holds down his daily radio show on Classic Country AM 1070-KFDI in Wichita, Kansas.
