Collaborating with Nashville session musicians including Charlie McCoy, Bruce Bouton, and David Rawlings, Flowers produced the album with Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado. The work explores themes of small-town ~~life~~ life, family, and the American experience, drawing on his upbringing in Nephi, ~~Utah, and the musical influences of his father,~~ Utah. Specific tracks such as ~~Johnny Cash~~ ‘One Of Us’ and ~~Waylon Jennings.~~ ‘Miss America’ touch on subjects including loss and the opioid crisis. While the album utilizes traditional country elements like honky-tonk and ballads, it also incorporates mariachi horns and expansive arrangements. In anticipation of the release, Flowers debuted the single ‘Tiger’s Blood’ at the Newport Folk Festival. He described the ~~track~~ move to this genre as a ~~reflection on nostalgia and his recent doubts regarding his music career.~~ way to find a “musical home for the personal stories he carries.” To support the album, Flowers is embarking on a headline tour across North America, the UK, and Ireland throughout September and October, including a scheduled performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 15 October.
