Taylor produced the record in Durham, North Carolina, with Brad Cook of Megafaun, and the two of them mixed this one with Chris Boerner.
The playing is a close-knit, rootsy affair. Taylor handles acoustic guitar and mandolin, Cook plays electric bass, Phil Cook moves between piano, resonator and slide guitar, and Matt McCaughan covers drums, congas and percussion, while Taylor and both Cooks share the vocals. Jon Ashley and Boerner engineered, with BJ Burton adding extra engineering.
