Adell
Liner notes
A country folk song with vocals and lyrics about Adell, Wisconsin, a quiet agricultural hub on Highway 57. The lyrics sing of the town's roots as Sherman's Station and the early days of the American Hotel at Maine Avenue and Mill Street. It captures the spirit of a small farming community surrounded by open countryside, where the old railroad depot first brought people together.
