Cassville
Liner notes
An americana song about Cassville, Wisconsin, sitting right on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River. The lyrics tell tales of the historic brick Denniston House and the old mooring rings down at Riverside Park where riverboats once tied up. The vocals capture the enduring spirit of the Cassville Car Ferry crossing the water beneath the towering wooded bluffs.
