This collection was released on June 27, 2006, by Windham Hill (now owned by Sony/BMG and distributed by Legacy Recordings) as part of a series of "Pure" albums by former Windham Hill artists; other titles cover the careers of diverse musicians such as Jim Brickman, Mark Isham, Shadowfax, Tuck & Patti, and Will Ackerman.

"It's hard to describe as a greatest hits thing," says Gorka, "The songs were picked to make a good record upon itself.

"[3] Although the collection offers no new recordings to owners of Gorka's complete back catalog, others will find a few "gems" from many of his earlier albums, many of which are no longer in print.

Backing vocalist include Shawn Colvin, Lucy Kaplansky, Nanci Griffith, Jennifer Kimball, and Cliff Eberhardt.

He released a total of five albums with Windham Hill/High Street: Land of the Bottom Line (1990), Jack's Crows (1991), Temporary Road (1992), Out of the Valley (1994), and Between Five and Seven (1996).
