Search - Melvin Litton & The Border Band :: Rootless Seed

We recorded at Chubby Smith's House of Sight and Sound located on the old Englegerger truck farm across the tracks in north Lawrence. Trains passed by every 15 minutes or so and we tried to record in between their passing. But listen closely and you may still hear the rumble of freight on the rails, that dark tonnage of steel and the wail of a whistle, you may even recall a ragged memory or a pang in your heart, perhaps a note of longing for something known, now gone. Keep listening and you may even sense it somewhere along the tracks like a "rootess seed" stumbling lost through the night in hope to make it home....
