Great Big Yam is all about the picnics and harvests. Rural music from rural people.
Great Big Yam is a collective and individual effort to preserve traditional American music and create songs within that tradition. From the traveling blues to the banjo breakdown to the jigs and reels native to Ireland to the African roots to folk protest songs.

Story behind the song
Death Valley, CA and a little bit of Otero Mesa, New Mexico.
Lyrics
Drop down Death Valley low where you were when the feeling had left you down from the cities on higher ground. Walking up Alpine high and you'll feel like the oxygen's leaving you and there isn't anywhere to go but down. They like the food that you bring in your bag, all these furry things in the field guides you'd collected over time. I'll make you an offer that you can't refuse, at least while you're looking at me or at least while we see eye to eye. I don't come from the city but I've been over town, and I've never seen a building so pretty as dropping Death Valley down. Drop down Death Valley low where you were out in the overgrowth, rain soaked flowers in the sand. All the flora and fauna held the light of the sun like a jealous possession right inside their little hands.
