In Their Words: “‘Lawrence, Kansas is a love letter to my hometown. Sean McConnell and I wrote it at a time that I was coming up on living one half of my life there and one half of my life in Nashville. It really made me stop and think about how much I don’t want to lose my roots, I don’t want my memories of home to fade, I don’t want to lose my twang, I don’t want to forget how to get from one town to the next by way of all the back roads. Which made me think of what my Dad always told my sister and me on those back roads, ‘If you ever lose your way back home, look for Blue Mound Tower and remember we live north of there.'” — Ashley Ray
