Bob Mould creates a twelve track journey of loss, reflection, conciliation, and coming through to the other side. The album deals with the passing of his father in 2012 and his own struggle to come to terms with it, himself, and own legacy.

An electric blues collection that dives deeply into the vaults of Cobra, Paula, Jewel, and Chief and comes up with sixteen tracks from the '50s and '60s, including four unissued performances from Snooky Pryor, Sonny Boy Williamson, and George 'Wild Child' Butler.
