From the inside cover:

Howdy, Farmhands! We're so glad to get this little crop of tunes into the hands of those who encourage us and come out to see us. Drop me a line if you aren't on our e-mail list... you'll get a monthly entry from The Farm Couple Journal. We thank our Heavenly Father for all His blessings, and for this great country that we live in... hope you do the same, friends!

Here are 12 tunes that we played with our good friend Don Morris (on bass) one evening in the Fall of 2002 down in Tahlequah, OK at Jeff Parker's Cimarron Sound Lab. We all played at one time around a couple of microphones. From the Woody Guthrie song to Bill Erickson's tune to our song entitled "Young Mother" about the photograph taken by Dorthea Lange called "The Migrant Mother."... you can hear our deep Oklahoma roots. To Patrick and I, the words "Red Dirt" describe the 'grit' of a story that's been passed down in an Oklahoma family... and sometimes it's been put into the form of a song. Just like the red clay that our relatives had to dig, plant, and live in, our music is rooted firmly in Oklahoma. This state has been Fertile Ground for so many folks. The country and gospel sounds... that's us The Farm Couple.

~ love y'all Monica & Patrick
