Interstates (1986) is a collection of nine songs written by New England singer-songwriter & acoustic blues guitarist, Geoff Bartley. Reissued on CD in 1998, this is Geoff's second album.
"New England Towns" is a darkly humorous look at junked cars, stray cats, and sleepy villages being pulled reluctantly into the twenty-first century. "Sanderlings" is a spoken word piece about migration & human will. "Mediocrities" is a wacky, blues-drenched reiteration of street-level ethics, and "July" remembers the joys of boyhood and deep summer nights. "Interstates" recalls the lost Franklin Expedition and tells of life on the road, and "Ever Green" is a love song, pure & simple. "Right to Ecstasy" and "Death is the Robber" address the human longing for transcendence & offer the perennial blossoming of hope.
