State Lines

The lyric is from a jazzy tune we posted 10 years ago. Family and friends were appalled smile as it was a radical departure from our decades of bluegrass; however, it was well received here which encouraged our journey to blues and Americana. This jammy (polite for longish smile ) “slow burn” blues rock, featuring PeterF, retains only the lyric (on SoundCloud) from the original.

Listens are appreciated as are comments. Thanks for your time and thanks to our music partner PeterF and PG Music.
