Liner notes

An americana song about Ferryville, a scenic hamlet perched between dramatic bluffs and the Mississippi River. The lyrics tell of grabbing cheese curds on the linear Main Street and watching the river from the observation deck over Lake Winneshiek. The song captures the peaceful, small-town atmosphere and the starlit nights by the water.
