The recording
The track recorded in 2008 for the 'Wide Open' album, produced by Michael Knox. The production was intentionally designed to be an aggressive blend of 80s-inspired country and hard rock, utilizing layered electric guitars from Kurt Allison and Adam Shoenfeld to achieve its anthemic, punchy sound.
