Blue River
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song about Blue River, Wisconsin, celebrating the late summer days of Autumn-Fest. The lyrics sing of tractor pulls, chicken BBQ, and the old 1866 one-room schoolhouse standing proud. It captures the spirit of the Heart of the Lower Wisconsin, where neighbors gather under the stained glass of the century-old Methodist church.
