Our song "Dream the Sun" was inspired by a tattoo meant to signify our confidence that the sun will rise, something we can believe even when the night is most dark and the sun is below the horizon. For additional sizes, please visit pinkertonraid.com/merch

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!

Sometimes people ask how my four siblings, their families and our parents all ended up in North Carolina from New Hampshire, via Florida. It starts with my mother's love for me and my kids. This is the story. -- Jesse James DeConto
lyrics
I am 27 years old, my baby's almost four
You meet us in the labor ward, 3,000 miles from home
You still wash my sister's clothes, my brother needs to learn to shave
You've got five babies of your own, with mine we seven make
Mass Pike, the G-dub Bridge, the Jersey tolls, the Chesapeake
South of the Border in the sun, Bradenton to Chapel Hill
You take the long way round about; geography's a magic art
The highway makes a home for us, the highway moves the world
Your mom and dad in Florida; your brother, sister Boston town
You leave your friends and bring the rest
My brothers, sisters all your best
You convalesce our broken home, my babies miss their mother
You hold 'em close into your heart, and that's where they find home
For us, you move the great, big world
For love, you move the great, big world

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
