This recording is for sale at the link above at cdbaby and is available for download on i tunes.
Crabtree's debut album, "Off the Beaten Path" was released in the spring of 2002. The title track was inspired by southwestern fringe living, as experienced by Crabtree and her friends. In the first lines of the song, we are introduced to a "Dusty, dusty devil, spinnin' lots of sand" who "kicks up her heels and flies across the land" and by the end, we recognize that the song is an autobiographical sketch of the guitar-toting, river-running artist herself:
"She's swirlin in an eddy, getting caught in the cane, She gets stuck in that eddy, and swirls around again, She spends her days out on a river raft, She walks off the beaten path."
