Alberta Bound (WORD)(Coming Soon)
Brandt was inspired to write "Alberta Bound" during a roughly ten-year period of time in which he was living in Nashville, Tennessee, and frequently touring. He would drive back home to Calgary, Alberta, every winter for Christmas, and pass a sign in Sweet Grass, Montana, which indicated it was 40 miles until the Canadian border. The sign would inspire the opening line in the song. Brandt later moved back to Alberta with his wife several years after the release of the song, desiring to raise their kids in Canada.
