An aesthetic layered  with fields and farms, trees and hills, the valley is sandwiched between  two mountain ranges and extends North to Portland, Oregon.<br \/>\nNorman\u2019s sophomore full-length, <em>Hay, Hay, Make a Wish and Turn Away<\/em> conjures images of a flatbed pickup rambling down a dusty country road  on a warm Summer evening. Norman most clearly embodies <em>Harvest<\/em>-era Neil Young, while drawing a wide range of comparisons including My Morning Jacket, Uncle Tupelo, Ryan Adams, and even fellow Portlanders, Blitzen Trapper.<\/p>\n<p>Their fun and energetic live performances also make Norman stand out in the sea of independent music in Portland.
