Ahead of the release, each digital pre-order comes with an immediate download of “Welcome To Your First Heartache” as well as the album track “This Ol’ World,” which was released earlier this month. Of the music, Rolling Stone praises, “…he fully brings the guitar-slinging pyrotechnics. A lick, a verse and a couple mean solos are all Shiflett needs to make a statement.”

Of the album, Shiflett comments, “I remember one night between Foo Fighters gigs last year I went out for dinner with Dave to chit chat about making this record. He said he had a vision of me playing through an old Marshall JCM-800. So, when it came time to record, we found one on Craigslist, cranked it up and it was perfect. I think this record hits a little closer to mixing everywhere I’ve been musically into one big blender and comes out something a little different. Since it was my second time working with Cobb and Co. out there at RCA Studio A, I kind of knew what to expect as far as his process, so I intentionally didn’t overthink or over-demo the songs because I didn’t want to get too stuck on any ideas I brought with me. I couldn’t be more excited about the results.”
