Andrew
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song about Andrew, Iowa, where the legacy of Ansel Briggs still echoes through the quiet streets. Acoustic guitars strum a tribute to the town's history as the home of Iowa's first governor. The lyrics reflect on the small-town pride of the local K-8 school and the enduring spirit of Jackson County.
