Sermon- the latest from Yarn yarnmusic. net
Chicago Farmer
“ You can smell the dirt in the fields, hear the wind as it blows across the plains, and see the people Chicago Farmer sings about. Each track captures a moment in time, whether for a person or a particular place. Imagine if a John Steinbeck short story had been written as a song, and this will give you a fairly good idea as to what Chicago Farmer accomplishes on his albums.”- Honest Tune
He honors singer-songwriter John Prine, who wrote his earliest songs while serving as a mail carrier in his home city of Chicago. But Corey Dieckhoff has his own path to follow... as a working class folk musician with the alias Chicago Farmer. His songs reflect his background...“ My generation may have been labeled as slackers, but I don’ t know anyone who doesn’ t work hard- many people I know put in 50-60 hours a week and 12 hour days. That’ s what keeps me playing. I don’ t like anyone to be left out; my music is for everyone in big and very small towns.”
