Bassett
Liner notes
Write a country song with vocals about the quiet rural hamlet of Bassett, Iowa. Tell the story of the old days when the local creamery and railroad kept the town buzzing and the post office was open until 1957. Sing about the small community on Main Street where a few dozen folks still keep the spirit of Chickasaw County alive.
