It was a different way of making a record. We basically all met in Athens, Georgia, to make this record. A lot of these songs, nobody had ever heard, and we just kind of put them together right there. We were in band camp or something.
More Quotes from Chuck Mead:
Last year was kind of a down year for us. We weren't out there for 200 dates last year, like usual. Don Herron, the band's fiddle, pedal-steel and mandolin master was off playing with Bob Dylan, Shaw was spending most of his time in Arizona, and I was in Nashville writing songs and doing my own thing.Chuck Mead
In the past we had it all preordained in our heads, but this time we went in there winging it, and I think it came out really good that way.

It was a weird recording process for us because it was so disjointed. Donnie was off playing with Dylan. Shaw was in Arizona. That just left Mark and me up here. So the record has kind of a different feel for us. Playing lead guitar again changed the dynamic a bit, too. But that was great. It was time to change things up.
