To Seliger’s delight, the seeds of Luck’s Changing Lanes had begun to germinate. Recording sessions went down all over the place - in Austin, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York and Miami. "It took a year and a half of juggling to get the tracks done,” he says, “so I used that time to really refine the songs.”

Jakob Dylan uses the phrase “lonesome music” to describe the Rusty Truck sound and Seliger agrees. “It is kind of lonesome,” says Seliger. "It’s about memory, despair, self-discovery, and love gone wrong. A perfect world for country songwriting.”

In contrast to the more individualistic act of taking photographs, a band can be satisfyingly democratic. “It’s a much more pleasant experience because you’re up there and everybody is just playing off each other and you have the opportunity to affect people instantly. And that’s very different from what I do visually, as a photographer. I’m an entertainer, either way, but a different kind of entertainer.”

It’s been quite the journey since Seliger wrote Never Going Back” with Dylan, but the hard-earned collection of songs that comprise Luck’s Changing Lanes speaks for itself. Even Seliger is a little in awe of the accomplishment. “Everyone involved in the making of it is amazing,” he says proudly. “It’s an incredible cast of artists and I couldn’t be happier with the result.”

Originally available as a limited release under the title Broken Promises, this debut album has been expanded and thoroughly re-imagined as Luck’s Changing Lanes, (including new songs and a bonus DVD with an impressive DTS 5.1 surround sound mix and five videos) giving Mark Seliger’s songs and unique American imagery the presentation they deserve.
