West Monroe
Liner notes
A midwest folk song about the quiet, rural stretches of West Monroe, Michigan. The lyrics reflect on the open fields and the echoes of nearby ghost towns like Alexis and Athlone that fade into the Monroe County landscape. Acoustic guitars and a gentle fiddle carry the memories of this small, unincorporated community and its agricultural roots.
