The 11-song project was produced by Anderson, Thomm Jutz and Peter Cooper, recorded and mixed by Jutz at TJ Tunes with assistant engineer Andy Kern and mastered by Alex Mccullough at True East Mastering. The Grand Ole Opry veteran co-wrote each of the additional tracks with venerable songwriters including John Paul White, Buddy Cannon, Paul Overstreet and more.

“You might think after my having released 71 albums during my career that I'd be tempted to yawn my way through the release of album No. 72,”  expressed Anderson. “Well, that's not the case at all. I'm looking forward to this one as much as any record I've ever put out. I know I've never enjoyed the recording process more than working here with Thomm Jutz and Peter Cooper. They had the vision...I just tried to follow their lead and bring their ideas to life. I only hope that as folks listen, they'll feel we succeeded.”
