Chet Gardiner began taking songs I'd record in my living room and fashioning a band around them back in the fall of 2023, in his home studio in Hawai'i. He needed to do something about Gaza, and helping me improve the music I was putting out about it seemed like one thing he could do.

Chet and I have recorded scores of songs this way, with this being our seventh album project collaboration.

Another brilliant musician, Laura Love from the state of Washington, made the same sort of offer Chet had made, for the same sort of reason. I took her up on her offer, and her vocals all over this album are the consequences.

The result of the collaboration of Chet and Laura is certainly one of the best albums I've ever put my name to.

As to the songs on it, all but one are songs I wrote between March and June, 2025, generally about current events, with a particular focus on Gaza, Mexico, and the US. In the Name of God I originally wrote in 2009, and recorded my voice and guitar parts at Big Red Studio in Corbett, Oregon.
