According to a press release, the album completes “a trilogy about mortality” with 2017’s God’s Problem Child and 2018’s Last Man Standing. It includes three new co-writes with longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon and a new rendition of his 1972 track “Stay Away From Lonely Places.” There are also covers of Billy Joel’s “Just the Way You Are,” Guy Clark’s “My Favorite Picture of You,” and more.
