In Their Words: “‘Early Riser’ is a really special song to me and writing it and recording it was truly a joy. It was a concept I came up with early one morning and developed into a beautiful vehicle for Ryan Young (Trampled by Turtles) to create his amazing melodic and harmonic fiddle soundscapes. In some ways I feel like I wrote this subconsciously for Ryan. When we started tracking it in the studio, (co-producer) JT Bates and I just looked at each other and knew we had something very special. It came together very naturally and showcases the genuine brothership and 20 years of history that Ryan and I share together. Enjoy! Thank you for listening!” — Mark Joseph
