We knew that. The remote backwoods of Cherokee County Oklahoma is lucky to be the home of this sweet soul and best musician. Sometimes the outside world swoops down and swishes him away for a special project, a studio gig, a tour. His discography attests to his prolific career as a professional musician and he's skilled at a stageful of instruments. In "On the Illinois" listeners hear the river on a visceral level. You can't help but put a home movie of the Illinois river to this song in your mind. We're at a loss to describe comparable music, because this song is distinctive. How many times has Randy played this song on a flatbed at Scout Hole, or at Blue Note Festival in October with the Illinois flowing by, or out at Bob Kane's, at Roxie's, at Kevin's Diamondhead Floats? This song came right out of the river. Its the whispered anthem of the work we do for the Illinois-- timeless, tireless and compelled by the message.
