Details:
The album cover is a tumble down shack in Tower Minnesota about an hour north of here....Highway 4 to up north and Hwy 61 up the shore are just littered with these places and one time coming back from fishing on a Sunday night I saw this place with an old orange truck out back, just abandoned on this beautiful property and started to think about what a history that place must have had and how great it would be to drop everything and reclaim it. That song became International Scout and the rest of the record became a loosely knit story of this young couple that reclaims this old farm with idealist country living dreams and of course it''s never as easy as it seems and there''s always a push and pull between thinking you want the security and solitude of a remote homestead and settling down but still being drawn reluctantly like a moth to the bright lights of being prone to wander. The ultimate hope of resolve is a gathering of friends and family, playing music in the kitchen on a Saturday night and achieving the balance of controlled chaos that a night of handmade acoustic music has offered to people for generations.
So that''s the story of record, the connection being Timber and Steel being huge industries up here, and alot of these old farmsteads left behind from the ebbs of the industry. The Timber and Steel that built the homesteads. And ultimately the Timber and Steel that makes the instruments that play the record.
