In Their Words: “‘Blue Sky Moon’ is an ode to the slow road. It’s a stubborn refusal to travel at anyone else’s speed but your own. This song is about moving through the world at a satisfying pace, and I recorded it with the most satisfying band I can imagine; Brittany Haas (fiddle), Sarah Jarosz (banjo, vocals), and Paul Kowert (bass) were the core band for this video as well as our Quiet Flame recording sessions, produced by Chris Eldridge. This song reminds me to notice those magic moments at the edges of the day, to hold my ground as the world goes rushing by. ‘Rock in my tire keeping time with the strobing light between the pines / My heartbeat finds the rhythm / Breakneck boy goes speeding by in a hellbent race to some finish line / I ain’t going with him.’” — Caitlin Canty
