Happy Independents Day! No, that's not a typo. This week on WIVK's Americana Highway with Jack Ryan we're celebrating freedom from major record labels - by only playing songs from Independents! You'll hear from some great Americana, Bluegrass and Country music artists who "color outside the lines" and instead of going with a big name, major record label - have decided to go it on their own - as Independents! Some have even released their records all by themselves! Now that's Independence!!
