"Why title an album of songs inspired by the landscapes, history, and secret corners of America "Dreamland"?
The answer lies entirely in the meaning we have given to the word "dream". In these poetic-musical visions, America is not the real one we all know. It is a magical, even initiatory place, where everything that America has given us throughout its and our history converges and coexists; all distilled in the yearning of a journey that lives for itself, and that becomes its own destination: a destination we love to sing about, a "dreamland" we stubbornly claim to inhabit."
Lucia Minetti

The songs on Dreamland are thus inspired by the great tradition of both great American songwriters, from Tom Waits to Ryan Bingham, from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan, and the great "native" musical tradition that starts from blues and reaches jazz. An unmissable album, therefore, for those who love great American music, filtered through the great sensitivity of two sublime artists like Lucia Minetti and Fabio Ranghiero.
