Liner notes

A midwest folk song with warm acoustic guitar and heartfelt vocals about the small-town spirit of Essex, Iowa. The lyrics celebrate gathering at the remodeled Essex Opera House and walking along the tree-lined Wabash Trace Nature Trail. It captures the enduring community pride seen in their annual Labor Day parades and the quiet beauty near the East Nishnabotna River.
