Where’s FourWallsdo?: The Red Hills of Utah

Tweet

Hey, I like a song title that answers the question without too much explanation! I’m heading east (playing the band Head East’s big hit, “There’s Never Been Any Reason”…do that every time I “head east” ) with only about 1,600 miles or so to go. Here’s today’s song along the musical highway that I’m on. The Red Hills of Utah - Marty Robbins Oh, Linda? NO! Marty Robbins was one marvelous singer. He was also one marvelous songwriter. And man, did he hit the nail on the head with this one! (Except those are mountains, not hills. ) This state, at least the part that I’m in (I’m not going north toward Salt Lake City), is stunning with those beautiful mesas, mountains, and canyons…and yes, many are red. Glad to have scratched this state off the list, and glad to share this lovely ballad about a lovely place.
