Blue Mounds
Liner notes
An acoustic folk song with gentle vocals reflecting on the high-elevation views of Blue Mounds, Wisconsin. The lyrics tell the story of Ebenezer Brigham and the early German and Norwegian immigrants who settled in the rolling hills of the Driftless Area. The song captures the natural wonder of the crystal formations in the Cave of the Mounds and the peaceful trails of the West Mound.
