The world, our world, as something we can almost hold in our hands, but not quite -- it's a theme that runs through our 2022 album THE HIGHWAY MOVES THE WORLD. You can hear it in the lyrics, you can see it in the music-videos for "Lisbet Cries" and the title track. And you can wear it!

At 19 I started learning my first instrument, bass guitar, and learned to sing pop, rock and folk-style music in a leaky basement in Manchester, NH. It was where I started to understand the complexity and the pain of my family of origin. Music and healing have gone hand-in-hand ever since. -- Jesse James DeConto
lyrics
194 West Rosemont in a cold New Hampshire town
I came in from Ohio, I'd been away too long
My little brother's playing the guitar
Keeping up with the old man
I bought myself a four-string bass, so I could join the band
The rain's a running down the walls, the harmonies a rising flood
Them basement tapes, the songs of sorrow
We live and breathe, the band plays on
194 West Rosemont in a cold New Hampshire town
Mom and dad been fighting again, just like they always have
My little brother finds the old man's truth
In the floorboards in the strings
So many way to dull the pain, but daddy keeps on singing
194 West Rosemont, we left you way back when
The fighting's never left us though, we're taking punches still
You face the music long enough, you learn to juke and jive
There ain't no peace as long as you think fighting's being alive

Words seem too simple to describe the energy and joy and humanity of this music and these people ... there's just life in it, is all we can say. The Pinkerton Raid
Sean is a provocateur and an entertainer -- he recalls Dylan's later flamboyance, Bowie's baritone, Prince's musicianship. There's just so much good and beautiful in what he does. The Pinkerton Raid
Wonderful... some of Hiatt's best songs are here. I've been a fan since Riding with the King. This is gloriously played, too. What a band. anthonytoner
