Something About Knowing's spirit of 'coming home with confidence' extends to the team picked to play on the album. The album was recorded with assistance by: Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes), her brother Macey (bass, keyboard, piano), Andy Lemaster (Now It's Overhead, Bright Eyes), old high school music pal Brad Armstrong, and trusted companions Lester Nuby and Daniel Farris.
Maria Taylor has released four solo albums and an EP, and has been lauded for her collaborations with artists such as Bright Eyes, Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Moby, David Barbe (Sugar, Drive-By Truckers, Son Volt), and Crooked Fingers.
