In Their Words: "Last year, I spent a month in the UK touring with my buddy Ian Siegel. We went into every little town in Scotland and northern England on the south coast. There would be gigs where sheep would be looking in the window of an old stone building at a crossroads in the middle of the Boggs. Haunted places …

Anyway, absorbing the scenery and culture of the rural United Kingdom inspired the writing of 'Wayward Wind.' It's about traveling, leaving, possibly running away. I wanted the accompanying video to express that and, in it, you literally see me running out of the back of the church filmed by a drone. I hope y'all dig it." — Jimbo Mathus
