Track information

  • The twelfth track, "Worldwide", was written by Oberst and given to Macey Taylor to sing.[7]
  • The fourteenth track, "Eagle on a Pole", was inspired by a comment made by Sean Foley who said, "I saw an eagle on a pole. I think it was an eagle." Simon Joyner, friend and mentor of Oberst, said that line would be great for a song, which planted the seed for others in the band to write a song from the line. Jason Boesel's version is on this record. Oberst's version is on Conor Oberst.[7]
