about

Written in the months before moving from Indianapolis, IN to Sioux Falls, SD, "Dakota" is comprised of 10 songs--or snapshots--depicting life in South Dakota past and present. The DNA of this album was inspired in part by Kathleen Norris' wonderful book, "Dakota: A Spiritual Biography."

In "My Old Prairie Home," the narrator regrets leaving the rural farm for life in the city while in "Farmer's Blues," the narrator longs for just the opposite. "King of the Rodeo" tells of a fearless (or foolish?) bull rider while "The Outlaw Life" follows a man in mid-life crisis who dreams of biking to Sturgis. "Gold Rush Blues' chronicles a chronically unlucky man who believes he may find luck in the Black Hills gold rush while "Chinook Wind" meets a man recovering from lost love.
