Legendary poets Frank Messina of New York City and Ron Whitehead of Kentucky have stood poles apart on political issues. But, in the end, they have remained friends. This album captures the true meaning of what it's like to be deep in America, deep in the American present. Frank Messina's odes to the New York Mets and Ron Whitehead's elegiac and loving tributes to his Kentucky heritage make this collaboration a unifying experience for any listener, enabling you to feel equally at home in the North and the South. This is the feeling of unity that Walt Whitman wanted us all to share in his immortal Leaves of Grass. Messina and Whitehead are joined by country singer Sarah Elizabeth, blues songwriter Tyrone Cotton and percussionist Andy Cook.
