Frontier Ruckus - The Orion Songbook/Way Upstate and the Crippled Summer, pt. 1




Frontier Ruckus is an amazing folk band that sings about the area I live in; good ol' Lake Orion. The Orion Songbook is a haunting journey through the odd forested suburbs of Detroit and the many areas that have become monuments through my childhood. Throughout the record the air of despair and loneliness is heavy; a feeling anyone who lives here is well acquainted with. It's knives are tipped with the cruel cold of the Michigan winter, the somberness of the quiet Autumns, the child-like wonder of the spring and the joyous sway of the Summer treeline. This is an unforgettable release and a must own for any Michigander or fan of folk.
