Apart from the song Long Walk Home, which was already played on the Seeger Sessions Band Tour in a different form, all the tracks on the album were written towards the end of 2006. The selection of songs was left to producer Brendan O'Brien. These selected tracks were then added to the Atlanta 's Southern Tracks Studios in about eight weeks. For organizational and logistical reasons, only a few band members were invited to the studio for individual recordings of instrumental tracks and overdubs, respectively.
