Content

The album's lead single is "Everything's Gonna Be Alright", a duet with Kenny Chesney. Although it is Murphy's first single release in 14 years, he has written several songs for other artists in the interim. Murphy and Chesney produced the album with Chesney's longtime producer, Buddy Cannon. Murphy told Rolling Stone Country that "We took our time picking the songs from the get-go. We were under no pressure. We recorded and overdubbed at our own pace".[1] According to MusicRow, Murphy was inspired to record an album after sending several songs that he had written to Chesney, who encouraged him to start recording again. The disc features eleven songs, all co-written by Murphy.[2] The track "Winnebago" previously appeared on Chesney's 2016 album Cosmic Hallelujah.[3]
