Liner notes

A reflective americana song about Beacon, Iowa, a quiet Mahaska County town that once thrived as a bustling coal camp. The lyrics speak of the old American Slope Mine and the miners who worked the earth near Muchakinock Creek. An acoustic guitar and fiddle drive the melody, capturing the transition from a busy 19th-century coal hub to a peaceful rural community of modest wood-frame homes.
