Down Country Roads—Crooked Timber/Slim Acres

SONGS

Slim's grandson Scott Ryan is at work on a CD of songs based on poems selected from his grandfather's book Down Country Roads. The samples below are offered for your listening pleasure. They're fairly low-bitrate .mp3 files, not the full-resolution versions you'll get if you buy the CD—which of course also comes with full cover art, jewel case, and so forth. If you'd like to buy a copy, please contact Scott. (As of 7 December 2024, the CD is not yet completed; please contact us if you'd like us to keep you posted on its availability.)
