For nearly two decades Ragan has traversed the country and the world—first with his celebrated post-punk act Hot Water Music and later as a solo troubadour—to bring his music to the masses.

Correspondingly, aside from the seemingly endless singles, splits and collaborations, Ragan's third solo album Covering Ground is as much of a love letter to his transient lifestyle as it is a concession to the loved ones he often has to leave behind and is also undeniably his most honest and accomplished album to date. Covering Ground is the sonic equivalent to Jack Kerouac's On The Road and could only be created by someone bred into road life and who requires a release like this in order to stay sane doing it. "The majority of these songs were written on the road," Ragan explains. "We've been running hard and burning the candle at both ends for years. It's been amazing in many ways but just as well extremely harsh when you end up making a massive amount of sacrifices to sustain in that type of nomadic lifestyle."
