red dirt
Iron-rich ground cover
Red dirt is soil with a distinctive reddish-brown color, caused by iron oxide content.
The term evokes the rural American South and Southwest, where such soil is common: red dirt roads, red dirt country.
Red dirt has become associated with a style of country and folk music rooted in Texas and Oklahoma: red dirt music, red dirt scene.
