Orshaw’s ‘Diamond’ Shines on Bluegrass Charts and More
DESCRIPTION:
Walking through a Montana town bypassed by the interstate, Aaron Burdett watched the quiet decay of a forgotten Main Street. Struck by its lost vitality, “Can’t Look Back” practically wrote itself as he wandered past the few remaining shops. Backed by a stellar bluegrass instrumentation, the is a look at the faded glory of a community left behind by the highway, acknowledging that what’s done and gone won’t come again as the world moves a mile down the road.
