This week, Radio Heartland's Mike Pengra fills in for Bill DeVille, who has spent the past week at the Americana Music Association's conference and festival in Nashville, Tenn.

Mike plays songs by those recognized at the Americana Fest's 2018 Honors and Awards. We'll also spotlight some legendary birthdays; specifically, Hank Williams and BB King. Plus -- Willie Nelson has a new album out; it's all Frank Sinatra Covers, and it's appropriately titled, "My Way," so we'll hear some of that as well.
