Highway Ten Listen Dan Garber Dan Garber wrote the lyrics and melody, and performs the lead vocals and plays guitar on this song. Wesley Combs is on the guitar and performs harmony vocals. Max McCullough is on the mandola. Steve Sumner plays the dobro. This song was recorded by Rickey Ray and Joel Sherill, and mixed by Rickey Ray at Ray Ranch Recording Studios.
Dan Garber wrote "Highway Ten" back in the 1970s when Loose Goose Band was a popular local band, playing gigs around Northeastern Oklahoma and as far away as McAlester and Tulsa. (I saw them in about 1978 when they opened for Papa John Creech at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa.) Another member of Loose Goose Band, Mike Allen, also has a song on this CD (see, How Much Will You Pay?. And you can catch Dan Garber again on this CD on the song Chicken Poop. He is a backup vocalist on that novelty tune. Also appearing on this song is another 1970's and 1980's local favorite, Wesley Combs, who was a well-known musician among students at NSU. For this recording, Dan and Wesley are joined by Max McCullough (who lives "up the river") on the mandola and by Steve Sumner on the dobro. Highway Ten is the kind of song that just makes you feel good. It's toe-tappin'. It's a song about going home to the great people who live up the river road, and about living life the way it ought to be. Highway Ten tells volumes about the culture of the Illinois River folks who call it home.
