The LA Cowboy, Jim Ladd, is alive and better than ever in a nightly radio show heard on KLOS 95.5 FM radio in Los Angeles and on the internet at www.955klos.com. You can also link to his show via Bosco Radio: The Music Channel starting at 8 PM PST/11 PM EST each night.
Ladd has been a fixture in the LA Market for over 40 years going back to KNAC-FM. He has also spent time in and out of trouble with stations like the Mighty Met (KMET), KLSX (when it was a classic rock station), and KEDG as well as several incarnations at KLOS.
Ladd's current show is what he is best known for...free form eclectic rock and roll mixed in with some commentary and a few "Lord have Mercies". True to his heart, he has no set format.
Over the years Ladd had produced some wonderful syndicated rock radio shows as well including "The Every Other Sunday Stereo Special", "Jim Ladd's Living Room" (where bands would actually play out of his living room live), "Inner View", and "Live from the Record Planet".
In the early 90's he wrote a novel, a thinly disguised look at how LA Radio Worked in the 70's. The books was called "Radio Kaos" but it was definitely based on his time at KMET and how corporations took over Rock Radio.
