Crowell released the album at a critically acclaimed juncture in his career. As he focused more on artistic merit and lyrically-driven sound, he honed in on a central theme for the tracks. He drew inspiration from his personal life including his wife and four daughters. Joe Henry produced the album using a group of musicians with whom Crowell had not previously worked. Principal recording took place in South Pasadena, California in 2007.
The album received largely favorable reviews though it was seen as a lesser effort than Crowell's previous three releases. It charted on Billboard's Top Country Albums and Independent Albums and was nominated for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.
