To many, Wood is best known for being Garth Brooks pianist on all his recordings since 1988. Jessica and Bobby have written several songs over the years. On the EP, they have written the ballad ”You ́re The One” together.

The first single from the EP, ”I Don’t Know Why”, was released on June 1 and has been added in 15 countries and has been received positively for its message of forgiveness and moving on with life after hard times. It was written together with Vip Vipperman (Emmylou Harris, LeAnn Rimes, Reba McEntire and others).

Jessica says this about the EP – ”I hope with my new music, to be able to inspire others to make the most of life, enjoying all that is possible. Daring to reach for inner dreams and regret nothing”. As Jessica’s lyric says,” We are all survivors in this life”
