Oakdale
Liner notes
A country folk song about the small village of Oakdale, Wisconsin, where Interstate 90 rolls right through the heart of Monroe County. The lyrics reflect on the quiet, landlocked community of just a few hundred souls gathering near the Oakdale Village Hall. Vocals capture the hardworking spirit of the local manufacturing and farming families who call this rural stretch home.
