Liner notes

A country folk song with vocals and lyrics about life in the woodsy community of Skidway Lake. The singer tells stories of driving down Elbow Lake Road and the quiet, rural rhythm of Ogemaw County. Fiddles and acoustic guitars blend to capture the tight-knit spirit of the locals living among the small lakes and pine trees.
