Cottage Grove
Liner notes
An upbeat country song about the growing village of Cottage Grove, tracing its roots back to the old Chicago & Northwestern Railroad depot. The singer reflects on walking down Main Street through the historic Olde Town core and gathering at Flynn Hall. With a driving acoustic guitar and fiddle, the track celebrates the blend of old farming heritage and modern community life along Cottage Grove Road.
