Songs about places tonight on Runout Numbers! We're both from special places: Detroit, out west, Arizona, the prairies of the Midwest, and good ole Music City, USA. As people who have traversed the country a few times and moved homes a few times more, place is important to us. Some of these songs touch on those places, and others are the artists' take on a place in their lives. Two jam packed hours of musical travel.
