The performance followed from a series of "Songs from Home" performances that Carpenter
live streamed during the
COVID-19 pandemic. Writing for
The Arts Desk, Liz Thomson calls this culmination of that series "beautifully shot" and a "a stunning performance" that is "thoughtful, thought-provoking, consoling, and utterly involving". The recording was first made available for
digital streaming on November 27, 2020, followed by
compact disc and
vinyl LP releases on December 4. The album was nominated for
Best Folk Album at the
64th Grammy Awards. ==Track listing==
