Mount Sterling
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song about Mount Sterling, a quiet village in the Driftless Area where [Wisconsin Highway 27](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Sterling,_Wisconsin) rolls through town. The lyrics tell of the old days when William T. Sterling platted the land in 1852, and the simple life that remains today. The vocals reflect the peaceful, rural spirit of Crawford County.
