Contents

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2012, the album was nominated for Best Country Album, losing out to Two Worlds Collide by The McClymonts.

Background

In her 2015 autobiography, Cole said she felt this was a crucial album to her, as her last studio album of original material was Feel This Free in 2005. She read Dolly Parton would take herself into a cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains where she would fast and write songs. Taking inspiration from that, Cole found small cabins, usually near the ocean, river or stream, where she would fast and write. It is the first album in which Cole had written every track. [1]
