About This:
This is a song done in a down-home slide blues style about who we all are in America, who we are related to, and how some may feel about it (“Who’s that Knockin’?”), but more importantly how we feel about it. It comes from two places in my family history: The English (possibly Jewish) Asbell's/Asbill's who married into the Overhill Cherokee culture then moved along with other mixed blood families into Estill County, Kentucky and farther. My third Great Grandfather, Joseph Robidoux and his family created a Métis culture along the Missouri River Valley and farther west to Nebraska and South Dakota. That culture was absorbed in modern times but this song is dedicated to it, the Asbell family history and to all of the descendents that exist today in many places and cultures.
