Production was handled entirely by Cody and Luther Dickinson, assisted by Kody Harrell, except for the song "Living Free" co-produced by Lawrence "Boo" Mitchell.

It features contributions from Tierinii and Tikyra Jackson of Southern Avenue, Cedric and Garry Burnside, Charles Hodges, Mavis Staples, Jason Isbell, Othar Turner, Duane Betts and Roosevelt Collier.

The images inspired the Dickinsons to revisit the sound of regionally renowned artists like Otha Turner and Junior Kimbrough ("Lonesome in My Home") that were hugely influential on their band.

The Dickinson brothers duo were joined by bassist Carl DuFrene, fife player Shardé Thomas and vocalist Sharisse Norman.

Previously, DuFrene was one of the guest musicians on the 2015 album Freedom & Dreams, while Thomas and Norman were featured on Prayer for Peace.

Main recording sessions took place at Zebra Ranch Studios in Independence, Mississippi with Kevin Houston.

Betts' guitar part was recorded at Pacific View Studio in Los Angeles by Stoll Vaughan.
