Solon Springs
Liner notes
A nostalgic country-folk ballad about Solon Springs, Wisconsin. A gentle acoustic guitar and a soft fiddle weave a melody about the old white birch groves and the mineral springs discovered by Thomas Solon. The lyrics reflect on the town's history of timber and railroads, echoing the quiet beauty of Douglas County.
