It came out on Nonesuch that spring, the progressive acoustic trio's sixth studio album, and its arrival lined up with the band's 25th anniversary.
Sara Watkins wrote the words, and the music is credited to all three members: Chris Thile, Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins. Eric Valentine produced, engineered and mixed it, with Cian Riordan also engineering and Justin Long assisting. "Love of Mine" was the other early single, and a reunion tour was lined up to start that April.
