Of the release, Isbell shares, "There are a lot of ghosts on this album. Sometimes the songs are about the ghosts of people who arent around anymore, but theyre also about who I used to be, the ghost of myself. I found myself writing songs that I wanted to write fifteen years ago, but in those days, I hadnt written enough songs to know how to do it yet. Just now have I been able to pull it off to my own satisfaction. In
