This album marked the band's return to Universal Music Group, which owns their previous label A&M Records, and also their current label, Verve Forecast Records (along with the catalog of Sanctuary Records, another label the band was on at one point).

History

During early writing and production of this album, the members of Blues Traveler began to experiment with re-arrangements of various older songs, and put this album on hold to record Cover Yourself for their twentieth anniversary. The recording sessions for the two albums were held back-to-back.

Track listing

More information No., Title ...

Early reports cite the disc as having 11 tracks,[4][5] but the supposedly official track listing released to amazon.com had only 10 tracks listed on it.[6] However, a later version of the track listing released on the Barnes and Noble website included the supposedly missing 11th track (apparently track 10), "The Landing," [7] along with a 30-second sample of the song. "The Landing" eventually became an iTunes exclusive song.
