Shiocton
Liner notes
A country folk song about Shiocton, Wisconsin, set along the winding banks of the Wolf River where the spring sturgeon spawn. The lyrics wander down Pine and Second Streets near Library Park, reflecting on the town's roots as Jordan's Landing and the ancient wild rice beds. The singer celebrates the quiet, close-knit community life found along the Newton Blackmour State Trail.
