The album was produced by Grammy-winner Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Wilco, Dixie Chicks), who helmed six of Lowen & Navarro's nine studio recordings. Dan wanted to return to the essence of those early recordings with Jim, noted for sonic excellence and the energetic immediacy. Backing players included a rich array of noted friends - Chris Stills, Steve Postell (Immediate Family, David Crosby), Brian Whelan (Dwight Yoakum), Doug Pettibone (Lucinda Williams), Taras Prodaniuk (Richard Thompson, Lucinda Williams), Mai Leisz (Jackson Browne, David Crosby), Sebastian Steinberg (Soul Coughing), Jimmy Paxson (Lyndsay Buckingham, Stevie Nicks) Michael Jerome (Richard Thompson), Phil Parlapiano (John Prine, Tracy Chapman), Carlos Murgua (Rickie Lee Jones, Luis Miguel) Leyla Hoyle (Marc Anthony) Joanna Wallfisch and Aubrey Richmond (Shooter Jennings)
