"The Way It Is" turns up on The Sheepdogs' self-titled album, the Canadian band's fourth studio record and their jump to a major label, out September 4, 2012. Ewan Currie wrote it, and the team behind the glass reads like a record collector's dream draft: Patrick Carney, who drums in the Black Keys, produced, with Rolling Stone editor Austin Scaggs and engineer Roger Moutenot on board as co-producers, and Tchad Blake mixed.

Those sessions paid off for the album, which went straight in at number one in Canada, went gold there the following March and earned a Juno nod for Rock Album of the Year.
