A collection of songs about walking away and coming back around again. Shanna spent years living and traveling in Asia and Mexico, and this is the collection of songs that came out of those relationships and experiences. She knew she wanted to come home to record this record with the people she'd been playing music with on and off for years, and who always let her come back home. "This is a really amazing CD. If you're looking for some great new original Americana tunes, this is one of the best I've heard in a while." - Chris Plumstead, Guitarist for Gunther Brown "And I would be remiss if I did not tell you that since I received your latest album, it has received exclusive playtime in my truck...pushing aside the usual heavy metal/grunge/indie rock stuff....I have been listening to this for a couple of weeks now. It is a FANTASTIC record!!! FYI: It pairs nicely with Alaska back roads." - J. Hardes “Shanna Underwood is a fabulous singer and exceptional songwriter. This record has a roots feel and includes a bus load of Portland talent that brings diverse deliveries to her insightful writing. It's the Gemini of CDs - multifaceted, clever, and always changing shape.” - Drew Wyman, bass player Shanna's last CD, Fieldnotes From a Caravan, was in a book format. This one, logically, is a map. The skyline on the inside of the CD is a composite of photos she took around the world from Taipei, Guadalajara, Beijing, Seoul, Portland, Knoxville, and more. The key links the musicians who played on each song to the song title and where they were written. Although it's a huge range of Portland-area musicians on the recording, the record has an amazingly cohesive sound based around Shanna's writing and strong vocal style. "Bluesy, melancholy, yet delightfully refreshing and optimistic, this is music guaranteed to lift your spirits." - LockerGnome
