The Kiama resident, created the album with U.S. hit songwriter Jason Patrick Mathews and acclaimed producer Bart Busch and said the album reflects his own life journey over the last few years.
"On the first album I wrote pretty much all the songs, this is definitely a different approach," Gunn said.
"I had the opportunity go to Nashville and work with some of my idols in the industry who produced some of my favourite albums.
"It was a completely new process which I loved. I think this is one or two notches above what I've done before.”
"It starts out talking about partying, bonfires and drinking beer, then goes into a deeper side of things with songs like What I need tonight which shows a more sensitive side,” he said.
“We shot the film clip at the Sebel, so you will be able to see a bit of Kiama in it.”
Gunn spent his childhood travelling around rural Australia like many great countrymen before him, and once again he has found inspiration in the outback.
"The last few years I've got into the B and S circuit and small rural festivals. Young outback communities, mainly in Victoria are what I've been focusing on,” he said.
“I've dedicated a lot of this album to those guys."
