Avenue of the Saints

Avenue of the Saints (Threshold Music 2002)
In Avenue of the Saints, Dana Robinson writes about place, and its connection with the heart. Farmer Saints, Cowboys, Tramps, Railroad workers, Soul Searchers, and Hemp Activists all inhabit these songs. The Berkshire Mountains, Nevada desert, Sandhills of Nebraska, Iowa farmland, the Susquehanna, Mississippi, and Brazos Rivers provide settings for these characters.
