The collection is themed around the rugged tales of 17th-century North America, focusing on legendary figures such as Davy Crockett, John Colter, Wild Bill Hickok, and Calamity Jane.
Hawken Horse aims to convey the stories of the American West through music, and Hammered & Hewn serves as a vivid portrayal of historical figures and events. The album's rich soundscape is a testament to the dedication to weaving together tales of valor, heartache, and untamed frontier spirit.
Standout tracks like "Rest Of My Day" and "Easy Sleep" showcase the album's emotional depth and narrative power.
