It is the fourth album released after the death of Michael Houser and the first for ATO Records Songs on the album range from road-tested classics like Jerry Joseph's classic North,[3] Clinic Cynic, one of the few songs where Todd Nance sings lead vocals,[4] and Visiting Day[5] to new originals like Saint Ex, Shut Up and Drive and Cotton Was King.

Also included is This Cruel Thing the latest of several Vic Chesnutt covers released by the band, and True to My Nature a collaboration with Daniel Hutchens of Bloodkin.

Widespread Panic’s John Bell on “Saint Ex”: My wife Laura and I are great fans of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

What I found intriguing about the situation is that the German pilot said Saint-Exupéry was one of his favorite authors, and claimed if he was aware of who was flying the French aircraft, he wouldn't have opened fire.

I began reading more of Saint-Exupéry's works, and even though they’re translations, his insights about “Life During Wartime” are really profound and heartfelt – simultaneously caring about all humanity, while feeling compelled to fight for his country.
