Isolation Mix #012: Michael KlausmanLone Prairie

Based on various versions of the classic cowboy ballad, Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie, LONE PRAIRIE exists somewhere sort of in-between a mix and an original piece of music. Originally a sailor’s ballad about the fear of dying at sea away from one’s loved ones, at some point in the late 1800s (most likely), it made the transition to being about the fear of dying alone and isolated in the vast, mostly empty landscape of America’s then nascent west. By the middle of the 20th century with the prairies long settled, the song’s perspective had begun to occasionally shift, with the narrator now longing to be buried out, rather than “not”, on the lone prairie — dread fear giving way to gimlet eyed nostalgia & dulcet tones as you unshackle yourself from civilization and head out to be entombed beneath the big sky. Something about this transition struck me regarding our current situation. Recorded at home over an afternoon in my living room with my family nearby (as where else would they be?), the occasional domestic sound included if you listen carefully.
