Steuben
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song with acoustic guitar and warm vocals about the quiet life in Steuben, Wisconsin. The lyrics reflect on the deep quiet of the lower Kickapoo River valley and the winding path of Highway 131. It sings of casting lines for trout in Citron Creek and looking up at the sweeping views of Hogback Prairie.
