I Am Nowhere, I Am Everywhere by The Ram
Roads, saloons, beer, and music—that's what I feel when listening to I Am Nowhere, I Am Everywhere by The Ram. This nine-track collection of country-rock-blues songs sounds like the soundtrack of America, especially for those of us living outside of it.

It may be beyond our comprehension, but it’s a poetic and powerful notion. This idea is called panpsychism, and it’s the perfect name for Test Patterns’ latest album.
