Most records, you build from the drums and bass up. This one, we started with the vocals in Nashville and recorded them live with just the guitars and tried to make that complete and lovely-sounding without any adornment at all.

You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction.
