Crandon
Liner notes
A bluegrass song with vocals and lyrics celebrating the deep Kentuck roots of Crandon, Wisconsin. The upbeat fiddle and banjo reflect the bustling energy of the old Page and Landeck lumber mill and the roaring engines at the off-road raceway. The lyrics sing of the Northwoods timberlands and the proud folks walking down West Polk Street.
