“The album’s songs are bound together by my interest in American folk music from the 60s and 70s and contemporary Americana. Laurel Canyon’s music has definitely been a part of my inspiration – the band’s name and the title of the album are a tribute to that musical counter-culture. I recognize the way touring with Steven 'n' Seagulls has molded me as a songwriter and how the things I’ve seen and experienced on tour have turned into songs. A couple of older songs also found new life on this album.”
