Background

"My life's been kind of a trail - it hasn't been one spot for 30 years - it's been a bunch of different places, different memories and different friends. It's about time passing and reminiscing," Mr. Brody is quoted as saying of the album. "Songs about driving, good old times, good old days and growing up." [2]
