Recorded and mixed in his Nashville, TN basement studio, Letters to the Editor, Vol.

1 was released online as a free digital-only download from his website in June 2007.

It is his fourth solo project, following the full-length studio album The Morning (2006).

The album is the result of an interesting experiment: Andrew asked the internet fan community that read his blog to send in pictures, drawings, paintings, stories, cool words, or ideas that he would develop into fully fleshed-out songs.

Each of the six songs on the album draw primarily from these submissions, an example of a unique form of community interaction between fan and artist.
