Hawkins
Liner notes
A rustic country folk song about Hawkins, Wisconsin, honoring the old logging days and the giant white pines. The lyrics tell stories of the Soo Line railroad and the hard work at the Northern Sash and Door Company. An acoustic guitar and fiddle blend to capture the flow of the South Fork of Main Creek running right through the center of the village.
