Americana Highways brings you this song premiere of Cancion Franklin’s “American” from upcoming album Stone For Stone available today on Spotify.
I wrote this song while I was a subway musician here in NY. This song is exactly what I wanted to say about my life and my home at the time I wrote it, which was several years ago, and today it rings more true than then. It is at once a celebration and a lament. It’s a classic case of loving something and being hurt by it all at once.
