Across all ten songs, Dawson's voice, with his soulful, golden burr, communicates with searing emotion and resilience. That visceral and instantly recognizable tone finds an ideal complement in an ensemble of principally Chicago-based musicians and close friends. My last album was pretty much all me, Dawson says. It was recorded and mixed mostly during the pandemic - I played all the instruments and sang all the parts (except for Diane on one and my friend Alton [Smith] playing keys on one song). So for this album I wanted to NOT do that. I wanted to play a 'dream band' of amazing Chicago musicians I've worked with over the last 15 years or so.
