A wonderful piece of Americana! The program is an engaging blend of song, story, and poetry. Some might find it a bit too sentimental and romantic, but I liked the way it evoked empty spaces, sparsely occupied with small humans who found comfort in both the land and in family and community.
To those of us with experience of the vast, stark beauty of the American West, the program is a kind of anthem to what we love. For others, it is a snapshot of a way of life that is, of course, shrinking as the world grows small and moves faster.
