The Ledge, Episode 20: Americana

For the 20th episode of The Ledge, we head to the backwoods area of Georgia, California, Missouri, Tennessee, and even Canada to compile 90 minutes of jangly, twangy goodness. Call it whatever you want - cow-punk, Americana, alt-country, but it's all closer to the memories of Hank and Johnny than anything you'll hear on those godawful modern country stations.

Download it here or tune into realpunkradio at 9 am or pm on Friday. Or download The Ledge app in the Android Market!
