Liner notes

An americana ballad about Agency, Iowa, echoing the deep history of the old Sac and Fox agency grounds. Fiddles and acoustic guitars weave a tale of the quiet streets where the legacy of 1843 still whispers through the Midwestern breeze. The song honors the enduring spirit of a small Wapello County community standing proud on the Iowa plains.
