2015 release, the first album in five years from the veteran folk rock band. Don and Karen (McCullough) Peris formed The Innocence Mission with school friend and bassist Mike Bitts while the three were students at the Catholic high school in their hometown, Lancaster PA, where they still live. Since the late `90s, they've released a dozen albums while making a conscious decision to devote themselves to raising their two children. About this album title and first song (`Hello I Feel the Same'), Karen Peris explains: "I'm thankful that writing songs can be like joining in a conversation with people. I love listening to someone else talking, but for me, speaking is not easy."
