About This Song
About "I Want to Go Back to Michigan (Down on the Farm)" by Bob Scobey
A homesick jazz reverie, Scobey's horns evoke rolling fields and simpler times. 'I Want to Go Back to Michigan' is wistful without being saccharine, its bounce masking a gentle ache. The tension is between nostalgia and reality: the farm is never quite as green as remembered.
