“This David Stewart and Linda Buell composition struck me the first time I heard it. I got to spend a little time with David in his hometown of Buffalo, Wyoming and he played this for me while we were riding up through the Bitterroot Mountains. It really typifies how I feel about life in general because we all deal with obstacles and challenges in some way and we're all looking for solutions and answers. It really helps to know that we're not alone.” ~ Shannon Slaughter

Ron Inscore – Mandolin

Cliff Bailey – Bass

Aubrey Haynie – Fiddle

Gaven Largent – Resophonic guitar

Shawn Lane – Harmony Vocals

Grayson Lane – Harmony Vocals
