History
As early as 1998, Blues Traveler expressed a desire to release an acoustic album.[2] During writing sessions for the follow-up to their previous album, ¡Bastardos!, the band decided to revisit older material as they were approaching their twentieth anniversary.[3][4]
Fans were asked for input in the song selection through the band's official website in early 2007.[5] At the band's annual Independence Day concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2007, twenty flash drives were randomly distributed throughout the venue.[6] Each included two songs from the upcoming album.
Blues Traveler performed an acoustic set on A&E's Private Sessions, which aired in August 2007. During the interview segments, John Popper mentioned that a possible title for the album would be "Cover Yourself". The band announced a special pre-order offer that included a bonus CD of live tracks. The album was released on October 30, 2007.
