Contents
This is Kern's first album to feature compositions not written by him; prior to this, all of his album's songs were solely self-composed.
Inspirations
This album marks the first time that Kern covered a song recorded by another artist, namely Elton John's "We All Fall in Love Sometimes" from his 1975 album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, and the Beatles' "In My Life" from their 1965 album Rubber Soul. According to the liner notes of the album, while growing up, Kern and his brother would jam along to Beatles records as soon as they were released.
In addition to this, the song "Emerald Legacy", according to Kern, is inspired by his father's Irish tenor, which was also a part of his childhood. The song "To Sleep on Angels' Wings" is dedicated to his mother.
