Yesterday, we published [Volume One](https://indierockcafe.com/2011/07/songs-4th-july-mixtape/)
of **50 Fourth of July Songs**, a playlist compilation, that features a wide range
of artists, genres and time periods.

Each track, in its own way, reflects an aspect of the American identity, touching
on themes such as patriotism, freedom, fireworks, summertime, baseball, and others
that are fitting for a 4th of July playlist series.

songs from The Stills,

This is Volume Two of the 50 Fourth of July Songs playlist series. If you want to
