We All Want The Same Things Cover

The Scoop: The Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn follows-up his last effort, the 2015 LP Faith In The Future with his third solo album to date. Finn referenced “co-dependency jams” when describing the songs on the album that are also “about normal people trying to help themselves, trying to move forward, and in some cases trying just to survive. All the while they are negotiating what space the others in their lives can occupy.” Regular collaborator Josh Kaufman produced and contributed to the album, as did Joe Russo, Stuart Bogie, Jon Shaw, Jordan McLean and others including Finn’s The Hold Steady band mate Tad Kubler.
