Contents

Prior to release, Jeffreys said "I've written every single song with some great writers - and every song is a page out of my life... We all sat in the same room and recorded everything live, it's pretty organic, kind of stripped back and naked" adding "I kind of feel as excited as I did when my first album came out over 25 years ago." [3]

Album content

Jeffreys said "There are songs that were hard to write without crying; songs about family, my love, my heart and my life.". "Milestones" is about losing a baby, "Gypsy Soul" is about feeling torn between wanting to be on the road and also wanting to stay at home, "Ferris Wheel Ride" is about mental health and "He Still Wants to Dance with Her" is a love song based on Jeffreys' parents. [1]

Reception

Madeline Link from Northern Daily Leader called the album "a new direction" for Jeffrey's saying "it's earthy, raw and acoustic, [and] carried by traditional bluegrass instruments and harmonies". [4]
