Bellevue
Liner notes
A soulful riverboat blues track with gritty vocals capturing the essence of Bellevue, Iowa, nestled right on the mighty Mississippi. The lyrics speak of watching the barges pass through Lock and Dam Number 12 under the shadow of towering wooded bluffs. It reflects on the town's deep river heritage and the scenic beauty of Bellevue State Park.
