When your world is destroyed as you know it, the ability to overcome and renew yourself is a very steep ascent. It may take years, and this song is about that struggle to 'let it go'

It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…

The song that led the way. I came up with the guitar sound first, and needed a song that evoked the pure energy that was coming from that guitar sound. It needed to be fast and intense. And it needed harmonies. We're full abandon 'cause it's time…

A collaborative composition driven by Jessica's opening hook... And she recorded it in one take.

A true story of one of the worst lapses in parental judgment I've ever displayed. I think the song's hilarious. The older girls are still scarred.

A nod to ACL's inspired musical genre "Bunny Funk." Sadly, squirrels don't tend to be as happy as bunnies.

Arranged by Jessica (with contributions from Amelia), I've gone days without being able to shake this melody.

So Jessica recorded this in one take. It won't be long before I'm just the guy that hits record. ...And she's already working out the harmonies.

The inspiration for this year's album. I wanted to make a track that would make both Neil Degrasse Tyson and Pete Seeger happy... ...I hope you ruminate on the size of the universe - and just what that means - while hearing the girls play.

The kids at their best. Jessica on flute, Rebecca on saxophone, Amelia on clarinet.
