Born in rural Indiana shortly after his family moved "west" from southern Virginia to start a livestock feed store, Simon Flory's music is suffused with the elements of his childhood - days spent in the fields, church songs, gravel roads. His new album, Haul These Blues Away (Feb. 26) features compositions that are as much short-story sketches as they are songs, each populated - like the locales that inspire them - with those among us who have few choices. The first single, "Peter Mack Built A Semi Truck," is out today.
