I've been answering that question quite a bit lately!
So, without further ado here's the tall and short of where that album title came from:
You know, sometimes life gets hectic. Hell, sometimes it gets just plain hard. Everyone has their own way of dealing with stress. Some kind of "Therapy" that's what keeps us going. Well, for me, when I'm feelin' stressed or overwhelmed I go jump in the truck, go find some whiterock (and it ain't too hard to find around here), turn the radio up way too loud and just drive it out. (yea, there's usually beer involved too)
I wrote a song about that called "I Need A Backroad". We started playin' it live all over the place and I discovered from talking with folks that I'm not the only one that finds "comfort in the curves" as Max Stalling would say.
Soooo, I started working on the album, writing songs, thinking about the direction of it. What I wanted to do more than anything was make a record that would work on whiterock. The kind of record you can get a long way away from those city lights, put it in, turn it up, and let it make you feel better...Backroad Therapy.
As I type this, we are just 3 days from the release after over a year of work and planning. I'm so excited friends!!!
