Overview
- Fallon announced the 12-track album on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, saying it will be released digitally on Sept. 10 with physical editions the following day on his Lesser Known Records imprint.
- Butch Walker produced the record at his Nashville-area studio and played multiple instruments while sessions used mostly live tracking to capture a fuller, more polished sound.

- The album features guest contributions from Brandon Flowers, Phil Collen, Marc Ribot, Donovan Woods, Lori McKenna and Eric Slick, reflecting a mix of rock, folk and country influences.
- Fallon and his band The Painkillers will preview songs on a short run of intimate club shows in June and perform at Riot Fest in Chicago in September before the album’s release, giving fans early live access to the new material.
