The Ides of March is the second solo album by American singer and guitarist Myles Kennedy.

[4] In an interview with Kylie Olsson, Kennedy stated that he was listening to this record and told himself that he basically just made a "rock" record but only adding elements from his previous solo effort like acoustic guitar and lap steel guitar.

[9] In an interview with Loudwire, Myles explained the meaning behind every track of the record and its story behind it.

"Sifting Through the Fire" is basically about getting the wrong information, whether it's from the news or social media.

The final song on the album, "Worried Mind," is about the assurance that someone is willing to remain steadfast for something while calling on the need to compromise.
