Millsap teams with Welch on "WIlderness Within You"

"It was such a dream come true to work with Gillian on this song," Millsap said. "Like a lot of the record, we recorded it live with no headphones and we nailed it in just a few takes. The whole time we talked about wildflowers and trees, it was wonderful."

"There's a field that's full of violets, there's a bruise that's purple-brown, there's a little bit of violence, and a lot of fertile ground."

"Wilderness Within You" is Millsap's sixth studio album and was produced with new collaborator Ryan McFadden, featuring a backing band of musicians whom Millsap had largely never met or played with until they began rolling tape. The players were Ross McReynolds on drums, Calvin Knowles on bass, Juan Solorzano and Mark Sloan on guitar and pedal steel, Ryan Connors and Will Honaker on keys, Jake Botts on saxophone, and Daniel Foulks on fiddle. In most cases, these musicians didn't hear the song they were about to track until minutes before the recording began.

Millsap already has released two songs, "Running On Time" and "What You've Shown Me."
