Sounds Like Chicken features 12 original songs with a distinct infusion of indie-pop into the quirky, un-traditional bluegrass sound we are known for. Several of the songs (I Made It, Stringtime in the Summer, You And Me) were written by Todd while out at sea. Others explore a light-hearted look at the limbo of joblessness (Rainbow Dreams), and the mischief of young love (Tony's Waste our Precious Time) The true tale of murder in turn of the century Maine (Paisley's Mattie Hackett) fulfills the unspoken requirement for a murder ballad.
