Doug Levitt’s “Edge of Everywhere” is a poignant anthem that encapsulates the essence of his 12-year, 120,000-mile Greyhound journey across America. Produced by Grammy-winner Trina Shoemaker, the track melds Levitt’s soulful vocals with gospel-tinged harmonies, creating a soundscape that resonates deeply. The song’s lyrics, inspired by real-life encounters, reflect stories of resilience and hope amidst adversity.
Levitt’s background as a journalist enriches his storytelling, offering listeners a raw and authentic narrative. I felt transported alongside Levitt, experiencing the myriad emotions of his fellow travelers. “Edge of Everywhere” is not just a song; it’s a testament to the human spirit’s endurance and the connections that bind us. In Levitt’s words, it’s “a kind of anthem from the edge,” and it truly captures the heart of Americana music.
