“The plan was to start driving north and not go home to Los Angeles until I was done with a record,” Five Easy Hot

Dogs is a collection of instrumental recordings from Mac’s time on the road. “Kind of like being on tour, except there

weren’t any shows and I’d just be burning money.” All of the songs on Five Easy Hot Dogs were recorded and

mixed in the corresponding city from each song title and the tracklisting reflects the chronological order in which the

songs were produced.
