Miller Carr hails from the idyllic, alpine wilderness of Northern California's Shasta County. The Carr family line is entrenched in the region's history of the original descendents which were gold rush chancres. As a child, he plucked the guitar one time and sparks began flying around. Moving from the delta to the bay and now living in San Francisco, the music on his album inhabits the middle ground of the picturesque surroundings of his youth and the urbane ambience of his current surroundings. 14 tracks. American Dust. 2008.
