SINGLE RELEASE
BALSAM RANGE
“The Pacific”
DESCRIPTION:
Balsam Range adds to the bluegrass songbook of dark tales of disaster with “The Pacific”. Inspired by “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, the foreboding ballad offers a deep story that you could almost make a movie out of. This was a song that just seemed to musically fit everybody in the band all at once.
