The album consists of 12 well crafted originals co-written by Baxter’s producing and musical partner, guitarist C.J. Vanston, and features guest vocalists and songwriters such as Michael McDonald, Baxter’s former Doobie Brothers bandmate, as well as Clint Black, Jonny Lang and Rick Livingstone.
Baxter shared, “There were so many incredible moments that went into the creation of this album. For me, making this album was much akin to why I play the guitar, exploring and traveling the path to furthering and expanding my musical horizons and, ultimately, bettering myself as a musician and guitarist”.
