This 2008 release from an award-winning songwriter is an imaginative, unforgettable journey through the American landscape and the lives lived there. Each song beautifully evokes the relationships between people and place today, spanning from the intimate streets of Greenwich Village to the sweeping vistas of Jackson Hole, reaching out to where farmland gives way to sprawl and wilderness gives way to industrial growth.
The disc fuses the roots Americana sounds of dobro, mandolin, guitar and drums with the elegance of piano and upright bass, offering a rich foundation for her expressive lyrics and vocal style.
'Traveler's tales, but more than that -- tales of connection and reflection about an American landscape that's in constant change. Wheeler is a fine writer; it's worth taking the trip with her.' - Dirty Linen
