Artist: Fred Hostetler (Hostel Music, ASCAP) Self-produced, written, recorded & performed Mixed by Eric Troyer (additional vocals & keys) Time 3:28 - Bpm 105

Description: A romping good-natured autobiographical song in which Hostetler relates the condition which fostered his life-long musical sojourn and 0.5% of his experiences along the way. Artist’s comments: This song (believe it or not) is truth based. What a concept! It reminds me of blues legend John Lee Hooker’s, great lyric:
I heard papa tell mama Let that boy boogie-woogie It's in him, and it gots to come out That ‘gots to come out’ for me is encapsulated by the words Reckless Independence. The phrase also seems applicable to 4th of July celebrations in my home country this year. As the nation appears to be on the back foot of the ‘road to ruin’ struggling to find its way back to the ‘cool cool drive on the interstate/inner state of life’, I wish all fellow travelers the best possible outcome on the journey and traveling mercies to all.

Reckless Independence (F. Hostetler) (ASCAP-Hostel Music)
 It all started when I was just a baby boy...three years old, I snuck out the back door I rode my tricycle, to the railroad tracks Followed a freight train to the mainline and I never looked back Mama ran out the door she saw I was gone 
She yelled at my father this won’t end well... Your son is showing signs of, he’s showing signs of

Reckless independence on the highway to hell
That boys got Reckless independence Reckless independence,
Now that’s just Reckless independence on the highway to hell,

Where it’s gonna stop, no one can tell There’s a lot happening out there On the highway to hell 
And I found out ... yes I found out.... There’s some serious consequences Unexpected repercussions To reckless independence ... On the highway to hell

Now you don’t know the half of it and the rest I can’t tell I followed the muse and she put me through well...you know New York City to Seattle, and down to LA Seems like I’m dodging bullets, all the way Music was my ride but barely kept me alive I guess I’m just lucky and I’m here to tell the tale Of reckless independence on the highway to hell . That boy’s got reckless independence, reckless independence 
Now that’s just reckless independence on the highway to hell...Yeah...

I’m just cruising along the ‘inner state’ of life.... I survived the road to ruin... And I left that highway of strife, I left it behind… Now I’m going for a, cool cool drive.... down the ‘inner state’ of life.

Three popular singles propel this release forward as genre lines blur across this short 7 song album. It’s packed with feeling and ends with ‘Happy Fingers’.
Artist’s comments: There is something about the Americana musical journey and something in the rain that reaches into the soul. The story of personal travails and vicissitudes translates into a universal life experience. It’s wet and messy stuff but water is fundamental to our existence. It can at once be uplifting, evocative, and sentimental, pulling up memories of struggle and hardship, but somehow harmonizing it all with a joy that seems to emanate from the experience itself. I call it ‘rain walking’.
