Michael Ward with Dogs & Fishes – Highway 61

“This tune has been a staple of our live shows for quite a while for just this reason. It was recorded almost as a goof at the end of sessions for our last full album, and in the depths of lockdown isolation, I drug it out and began the long distance production, me in Wyoming and Will in San Francisco. A thoroughly modern endeavor.” ~ Michael Ward. More information at Hemifran.
