The record, produced by famed Texas-music legend Lloyd Maines (Dixie Chicks, Terri Hendrix, Terry Allen), is a dusty backroads blend of heartache and hope.

Since his 1997 debut, General Store, he's been building fans, wowing critics and winning accolades at a heady pace. His 2002 release, Right Here and Now sold nearly 20,000 copies. His career's been picking up steam ever since. In fact, just this year he won the prestigious B.W. Stevenson Songwriting Contest, awarded every year in April at Poor David's Pub in Dallas, Texas. He's also been a New Folk Finalist at the world-renowned Kerrville Folk Festival.

Owen Temple is a man and songwriter who has traveled thousands of miles, literally and artistically. The new record has been a lifetime in the making. Through all the miles and highways he's traveled, Temple has come to a new beginning. One that finds him on the verge of greatness. And you can't get there without putting the miles behind you.
