Montana Morning Indie Folk – Warm Acoustic Songs for Coffee on a Frosty Ridge

Original indie folk songs for a quiet Montana morning, a warm cup of coffee, and slow living. First frost on the Bitterroot, my father's old truck, and two cups on the tailgate. The first Monday after thirty-eight years at the mill, I drove Dad's old pickup out to the meadow where he used to take me. Fifteen story songs about what a father leaves behind: his hat on the seat, the way he poured his coffee, elk season in the dark, fishing the Clark Fork, the last drive to Missoula, and teaching my grandson the long way home. 🎵 Tracklist 0:00 My Father's Truck 4:23 First Frost on the Bitterroot 8:23 His Hat on the Seat 12:13 The Way He Poured His Coffee 16:10 Ninety-Three South 20:04 What He Never Said 24:14 Elk Season 28:14 Mom Kept the Coffee Can 32:17 Down on the Clark Fork 36:20 His Hands, My Hands 40:21 The Last Drive to Missoula 44:03 Tamaracks Turning Gold 47:56 You Look Like Him in the Morning 51:11 Teach Him the Long Way 54:41 Two Cups on the Tailgate About Kettle Ridge Kettle Ridge is a songwriting project. I write the lyrics and shape every song, and I use AI tools for the vocals and instruments. ☕ What did your father (or someone like him) teach you without ever saying a word? I read every comment. #indiefolk #morningcoffee #montana
