Braunagel oversaw recording of the tracks at Ultratone Studios in Studio City, California, in October 2023. “ During the pandemic,” says Price, “I passed the time writing songs with the keyboard player in my band, Jim Britton. I also wrote with my friend Fred Chapellier, a great guitar player from France, and with the team of Jon Tiven and Sally Young from Nashville. Tony worked with me to bring the best of these songs to life.” 2016 Blues Music Award (BMA) winner and frequent BMA nominee Billy Price first attracted national attention during his three-year association with guitarist Roy Buchanan.
