The album was recorded in 2012 at John Kilgore Sound & Recording (New York, NY), Petra Haden's House (Los Angeles, CA), PJ Hanke Studios (Los Angeles, CA), The Body Shop (Los Angeles, CA), and Vox Recording Studios, (Los Angeles, CA). Some of the tracks feature Haden on both lead and backing vocals alone. Other tracks have guest musicians: pianist Brad Mehldau, guitarist Bill Frisell, and bassist Charlie Haden.

Reception

The AllMusic reviewer preferred the all-vocal tracks, because the others "sound a little too traditional and somewhat less interesting when compared to the rest of the album".
