         Alabama Bound         Birmingham Blues

Alabama Bound

Alabama Bound
Amble the dusty back roads of Alabama with Dixie, Evelyn, Loretta, Alice and Dominique. Savor their stories, told with wicked wit and a drawl like molasses peppered with yellow jackets. A blend of humor and heartbreak that startles and disturbs.
