The Prairie: A heart heartening set of new songs. Order or check it out right here. 8 original Tom B songs and 1 John Prine song. The American prairie, the land and its people.  Their sayings, their dreams — clung to or abandoned, dashed or come to pass – their reliance on the land. These stories of individuals in their own time and place, through Brosseau’s words and his memory, travel into myth.  The real and actual drop away; myth and story fill the spot. 2020 digital release
