years ago. In fact, the latest release got its name from one of the
band’s memorable days on the
road.
Red Wanting Blue was driving
from Salt Lake City to Denver during a brutal snowstorm a year ago
when the band’s converted mobile home nearly hit a jackknifed
tractor-trailer.
“The truck came to a halt just
before getting to us,” said Terry.
“There was debris everywhere
and we sat in awe for a moment
before we maneuvered around
the wreckage and slowly made
our way down the mountain. We
pulled off at the first truck stop we
saw – it happened to be named
‘Little America.’”
The title is also bit of a metaphor
for the way Scott and the band
have bonded with each other and
their fans across the country. He’s
seen more of the country than he
ever dreamed he would.
“As a child, America was the
most enormous thing I knew, and
as I got older, it became an epic
and unconquerable wilderness
that I thought I would spend my
whole life discovering,” he explained. “My relationship with
America has gotten so much more
intimate than I ever could have
dreamed. It’s ‘Little America,’ like
the nickname you can only give to
someone after you’ve really gotten to know them.”
Red Wanting Blue is: Scott Terry, Mark McCullough,
