In Her Words: “The opening track for my new record carries all the hope of moving somewhere new and starting over. Every time I drive west through Texas and New Mexico, I take the original U.S. highways. I like little towns with 100-year-old brick courthouses and family-run breakfast spots that only take cash. Small-town America is mostly going about its business, getting a little dusty and bent-over, finding it harder to make a living these days. There are folks out there with great stories to tell, but if you take the interstate, you’ll miss them.” –Emily Scott Robinson
