About This Item
Vinyl LP pressing. 2019 . With the album's title and varied themes, Gill helps Merle Haggard and other inspirations reclaim Okie, a term used in the past to disparage Oklahoma natives living on the West Coast during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression years. For Gill, a proud Oklahoman, it now applies to common folks with specific fears and triumphs that are broadly relatable to listeners well beyond the Sooner State. InchI thought this was going to be a songwriter record, not a concept album,Inch Gill says. InchIt wound up being more information than I'd envisioned. A friend sent me an email saying, 'You could have only written this record after living a 60-year-plus life.' He said, 'There's no struggle in these songs, just truth and your experience.'Inch Album Tracks 1. I Don't Wanna Ride the Rails No More 04 28 2. The Price of Regret 03 50 3. Forever Changed 03 41 4.
