In several inteviews this is what Lee stated about this record:
The songs for this record were written during the pandemic while on a 6,000-mile cross-country road trip with his wife Deborah to escape the world’s house arrest during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"The bulk of this record was done that way. We hit the road crisscrossing the country as we went from California to New York and then back again. I did a lot of thinking and writing as everyone has to deal with things in their own way. It was an isolating experience as it was just my wife and our Boston terrier. Yet at the same time, it was quite familiar as I’m used to being on tour going from place to place. It was a very comfortable situation, and it got me away from things. It was a fascinating time and trip. A lot of this record was written while in our Airstream. When I got back to California, I booked the studio that I’ve used over the years and started to record these songs. I played a lot of the instruments, not all of them by any means. I have a fantastic band with Buzz Campbell on guitar, Larry Mitchell on drums, and Matt Jordan on piano.As needed, I would have my guys recording at their home and sending me the tracks."
