Struggle, survival and live music brewed up into a foot-stomping, bath-blasting, bone-shaking hoedown
Ain’t you heard there’s a storm coming?
A clock, a town, a sunrise on an old radio and the wind. The wind, who’s dead set on sticking someone in the ground by sunset.
Down in the dust bowl the air’s so thick folk just can’t see what’s coming their way anymore, all ’cept Johnnie, little Johnnie Wylo…
