    Early morning songwriting sessions really set the pace for Solid Ground. Bowen typically brings 20 to 30 songs to the table for each record. Producer Keith Gattis pushed Bowen to dig deeper and con...
    "Couldn't Make You Love Me" started off with a lick by guitarist Audley Freed. Freed's a former guitarist of The Black Crowes and has toured with the likes of Dixie Chicks, Gov't Mule, and Jakob Dy...
    "Sonically, we knew it was exactly what we wanted the record to sound like. Keith turned to me and said that from here on out, every song was going to be measured up against it. It was the measurin...
    "Day of the Dead" is primarily influenced by excursions to the Texas-Mexico border in West Texas. Lajitas is nestled between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Bowen captures the...
    "Day of the Dead" is the only song Bowen didn't write on Solid Ground. Gattis isn't just a suburb producer, he's an accomplished songwriter. The likes of Randy Rogers Band, Charlie Robison, George...
    "Keith brought it to me with the intentions of us finishing it. I listened to it and told it was already done. I wasn't going to try and weasel my way in for a writing credit."
    "So Long 6th Street" finds Bowen reminiscing about his time Austin after graduating from Texas Tech University in Lubbock. Bowen recalls that the two years spent in Austin were the biggest struggle...
    Jack Ingram and Miranda Lambertboth provide harmony vocals on the nostalgic anthem. Ingram became involved after a Nashville studio visit. Bowen recalls being under the weather and trying to rest h...
    "It was one of those songs where you knew as you were writing it, that it was going to be a good one. They don't come along like that all the time. You feel good about songs, but not like that."
    "Broken Glass" is one of Bowen's most revealing and intimate ballads to date. Bowen isn't just apologetic and regretful, he leaves himself exposed and vulnerable. It's the lone track on Solid Groun...
    Bowen cites Ryan Adamsa major influence on "Broken Glass." He was inspired by Adams' often brutally honest lyricism.
    "I wrote that one night after I said something I really regret saying to my wife. She slammed the door and went to bed. I stayed up all night writing that song."
    "Death, Dyin' and Deviled Eggs" was co-written with songwriter Jon Randall. Bowen and Randall were heavily influenced by Guy Clark on the uplifting funeral song. It was written roughly two weeks af...
    Despite being a song about a funeral, "Death, Dyin' and Deviled Eggs" isn't overly somber or sad. In many respects, it's about gratitude. It's one of many examples on Solid Groundwhere Bowen openly...
    "Jack Ingram always says when you're writing, if you had to sit on stage with Guy Clark or Kris Kristofferson, would you be excited to sing the song or would you be embarrassed? Would you even want...
    "7:30" was written by Bowen, Angaleena Presley and Waylon Payne. It revolves around a sweet and delicate melody by Payne. The subject matter of "7:30" is much dejected and sorrowful. It's the accou...
    This is another example of Bowen, Freed and company being given room to breathe sonically. Bowen says they tried cutting down the elegant outro, but they ultimately felt it was a much-needed presence.
    "I think the original worktape is only two-and-a-half minutes. There's not really a true hook in the song. Waylon said he'd gotten a call early in the morning when one of his parents had passed awa...
    "Acuna" was primarily inspired by Bowen's college days. Like "So Long 6th Street" and "Day of the Dead," it has Bowen going down a nostalgic rabbit hole. Bowen recalls trips from Lubbock down to th...
    The chorus lines of "We vanished into thin air. So fast we didn't know what went wrong. Just disappeared like the dancehalls. Woke up one morning and we were gone" are a nod to Texas' disappearing...
    "I didn't have the bridge written. I said let's put a bridge in over this chord progression and then we'll write one later. I wrote the lyrics when I was doing vocals. That's something that was a f...
    "Compass Rose" was co-written by Bowen and Andrew Combs. In many respects, it's a microcosm of Solid Ground's Texas road trip vibes. Where "Compass Rose" is guided by the narrator's significant oth...
    "If you're going to make a different record, you can't just write with the same people. You have to challenge yourself. Actually, my favorite song Andrew and I wrote didn't actually make the record...
    "Anchor" was written by Bowen and Jeremy Spillman. Spillman and Bowen previously collaborated on the songs "My California" and "Sweet Leona" on Bowen's self-titled album. With its heavy subject mat...
    Much like "Broken Glass," "Anchor" finds Bowen really opening up and feeling vulnerable. He questions his own worth throughout trying to decide on if he's a burden or a stable force with lines like...
    "'Anchor' is one of only two songs I've ever been afraid to play for my wife. It took a lot to get me to play it for her since it's such an open diary. The jest is that marriage isn't easy. It's ha...
    "Fell in Love on Whiskey" was written by Bowen and Charlie Worsham. It's one of the more light-hearted moments on the album. Originally, the song was written as a bluegrass number.
    A major influence on the song's direction was Chris Stapleton's. Specifically, Bowen cites Stapleton's ability to take "Midnight Train to Memphis," originally a bluegrass song during his time in Th...
    "We wrote that a while ago. Both of us were kind of tired of writing the same way and thought we'd piss everyone off and write a bluegrass song to turn into our publishers. They'd hate that."
