In Their Words: “‘Line Those Pockets’ has a unique collaborative aspect. It started out as a campy kind of folk ballad, but then we heard this cool drum and keyboard part that Jano had worked up. So we married the lyrics to Jano’s piano part. It was ambiguous enough that Chris and I had different interpretations of the harmony. So everyone’s separate visions came together in the finished song. It emerged as a sound and song we’ve never made before. A weird pseudo Latin-reggae groove with a poppy hook. Absolutely new territory for The Wood Brothers, which is always something we’re trying to accomplish as we write for each new album.” — Oliver Wood, The Wood Brothers
