“When we set out to record PIONEER,
the three of us drove across the country from Greeneville to Malibu to
work with one of our musical superheroes, Rick Rubin,” said Reid
Perry. “Our time in the studio with Rick was so incredible because
during our early sessions he challenged us to set higher goals as
songwriters.”

“With that experience came the
realization that we needed to take the music back home to Tennessee and
have Dann Huff bring the songs to life with his production,” adds Neil
Perry. “Sometimes where one starts off is not where one ends up, which
is a big theme for us on PIONEER.”
