There’s nothing between the song and the listener with ‘Humble Love‘ from Minnesota Long Prairie – it’s an earnest declaration of adoration that only gains weight from the lack of clutter in the accompaniment – a voice and a guitar and that’s all you need.
Long Prairie was born into a hardscrabble existence, but her dad saw talent in her and bought her an electric guitar from a local pawn shop. She bought a guitar book and started learning guitar chords. She moved to St. Petersburg, Florida in 2003 where she started taking bluegrass guitar lessons. After a short stint in Nashville, TN, she relocated to the Texas Hill Country in 2011 where she became a regular at Kent Finlay’s Songwriter Night held weekly in San Marcos, TX. Two years later she cut her first record “Purdy Wings” in 2013. Her latest album “Humble Love” was released on August 8th, 2025, it’s a compilation of 12 original songs of just her vocal and guitar, a stripped down production throughout.
