The album features original compositions, traditional folk songs, and a heartfelt Blaze Foley cover—continuing Forrest’s exploration of bluegrass and Americana influences that blend traditional sounds with new works that sound timeless.

Containing thirteen tracks, this self-portrait in song moves fluidly between instrumental and vocal works, weaving through the artist’s lived experiences with guest appearances from a few special friends along the way.
