Americana Highway #80 - July 2, 2006

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!!
.
Plus be listening for some very special in-studio guests this week including: Shawn Mulllins, John Cowan, Eric Hanke and Amy Speace!
.
As always, if there's a song you'd like to hear on the show - this week or any week - just send an email with the name of the song and the artist and ship it to jack@americanahighway.com.
