​Chicago Farmer (from the album Flyover Country available as a self-release) (by Bryant Liggett)
Taking a well-worn musical path, Chicago Farmer, aka Cody Diekhoff, walked the walk from punk rock and like-minded angst guitar heroes before learning about Hank Williams. Realizing the heartache expressed by Hank the First was the same kind of pain as expressed by Kurt Cobain. The door that opened for Cody Diekhoff by Hank Williams led to a party soundtrack for Chicago Farmer filled with music from John Prine, Emmylou Harris, and Waylon Jennings among others. 
The latest from Chicago Farmer, Flyover Country, is a catchy collection of subtle twang. Chicago Farmer has his finger on the modern Roots pulse with a display of gritty Country Rock and Folk from the gut amid a Folksingers mesh of lyrical humor and problems with a groove. Road tunes open Flyover Country. “Indiana Line” is a heart-driven nod to getting home, while the Flyover Country title track finds itself behind the wheel for a weeper about old friends, new friends, and lost loves, where the narrator has a ‘lifetime to go, a lifetime behind, eyes on the road and you on my mind…drive all night’. “$13 Beers” is a familiar narrative for anyone that has attended a professional sporting event or a stadium concert, reminding us fans that a smaller venue for a Midwest bill of Bloodshot artists will always outweigh an arena flavor of the week.  “All in One Place” is rowdy Cowpunk, “Ramblin’ Man” a haunting country-noir, and “Dirtiest Uniforms,” with its sing-along bounce, an autobiographical reflection. “The Village Revisited”, with its R&B vibe, wraps Flyover Country by adding to the whole collection of Indie Singer/Songwriter and aggro-Americana.
