Search - Andrew McKnight :: Traveler

The debut CD from this gifted musical storyteller introduced folk fans to McKnight's literate, compelling character sketches and vivid imagery, all wrapped in his smooth expressive tenor and standout guitar playing. Traveler features some of his best-loved songs, including "Dancing in the Rain" about the plight of an Iowa farm family (and the first recording with his two friends who would join forces years later to form Dang Varmints!), a love song from the Old Man Mississippi to his lady love "Atchafalaya", and "Magnolia Tree" detailing his own escape from corporate America. Other highlights include "Highland County Romp" (a gorgeous guitar duet with virtuoso Seth Austen), the old-time/folk tinged "Gatlinburg", and the gentle small-town country/Americana feel of "Still Home to Me".
