October 17, 2019 Caroline Says announces OHIO RIVER EP; shares title track

Caroline Says is readying the follow-up to her gorgeous 2018 debut album No Fool Like An Old Fool, with her new Ohio River EP, coming November 22nd on Western Vinyl. She had this to say about the wistfully hopeful track, with a nod to Steely Dan and Bruce Springsteen:

This song is about growing up in a small southern town, having fun as a teenager while you’re there, moving away, and then visiting it later in life as a different person with a different perspective, but having fond memories of it there. I guess a common theme for me… also very Bruce Springsteen. They’re watching a river to distract themselves from a sad thing.

I had “Dirty Work: by Steely Dan in my head for this, although it sounds nothing like it. I used the Wurlitzer in the second verse because of it.
