Corwith
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song about the quiet streets of Corwith, Iowa, where the echoes of the 1880 railroad still linger in the prairie wind. The lyrics reflect on the early days when the first hotel stood before the fires of the 1800s, capturing the resilience of a small Hancock County farming community. Acoustic guitars and a gentle fiddle drive the melody of this rural town's enduring spirit.
