Check Engine by Michael Francis McCarthy
Written on a derelict 250 acre farm on the banks of the Esopus Creek in the Catskills Mountains of upstate New York, this album was first conceived in winter of early 2022 and was completed in winter of late 2022. These songs travel across the seasons, echo down far-flung byways of deep Yankee countryside and offer a vision of how things seemed to be at the time.
