In December 2001, Phil Pritchett sat in his songwriting office in Nashville and found his true calling; however, it wasn't in Tennessee. After eight years of living in Austin and playing his original music to fans all over the South, he'd come to Nashville to try and change country music for the better. After nearly two years, he realized a better way to handle this task.

Said Pritchett of his time in the Music City, "I came to realize that the blood and guts of doing music for a living was doing your thing and working hard to keep doing it. There are people everywhere who talk about getting record deals, cutting songs, looking for managers and whatever. But it is all just talk. The guys in the game who aren't standing around talking are out there making things happen, even if it's just a club gig for $400. I began to see the beauty and purity in being a guy that acted, that produced, rather than a guy that was good at networking and 'knew a lot of people.'"

So Pritchett packed his family and belongings and headed back to Texas where he assembled The Full Band (Ryan Lynch on bass and Jason Stolly on drums). Immediately, Pritchett hit the road, returning to the business of providing his large and supportive fan base with the live sounds they had sorely missed in his absence.
