Album art


The album art appears to be a reference to the shape of Lawrence County, Kentucky, the birthplace of Tyler Childers. Additionally, the coloration and shape are reminiscent of Kentucky agate, a type of agate found in Estill, Jackson, Powell, Madison, and Rockcastle counties in Kentucky that has distinctive red, black, yellow, and gray bands due to its derivation from the Mississippian Borden Formation.[12]
