We changed so much of how we write and how we look at songs because of that experience.”The album was written and recorded over the course of ayear, with the musicians penning over 40 song ideasin total.The band spent time in the studio in Los Angeles with producer Andrew Goldstein and in Nashville with producerTommy English, and even laid down a few parts at Will’s home studio. And you can really hear that on this record. “It was such a different experience for us and we really stepped outside of our comfort zone.

The lyrics express the difficulty he had finding gigs as a result of his unique sound, "You sound like a hillbilly We want folk singers here." The song is the first of the two Dylan-penned songs to be heard on the album, the other being "Song To Woody. A talking blues, it describes his feelings on arriving in New York City, his time playing coffee houses in Greenwich Village and his life up to getting a record deal.
