This is the first album to be released by the band without saxophonist LeRoi Moore and the first to feature Bela Fleck and the Flecktones saxophonist Jeff Coffin for the entire set.

Tim Reynolds also sat in as a guest for the complete set, as he did throughout the 2008 summer tour.

It was released on Tuesday December 16, 2008.^[1]
