Grace Potter was the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday. Potter performed “Good Time” off her latest album, Mother Road.
Mother Road arrived on August 18. The record marks Potter’s first new studio album in four years following her Grammy-nominated 2019 album Daylight.
Grace drew inspiration for Mother Road from a introspective road trip she took:
“In Grapes Of Wrath, John Steinbeck called Route 66 the ‘The Mother of all roads…the road of flight.’ As I zeroed out my odometer and started west on my road trip across the U.S., I hoped that driving the road of flight would give me a bird’s eye view of my life. But it didn’t take long to realize that I was not flying; I was running away. In the solitude, I found myself smashing open the piggy bank of deeply-buried memories. Those gems of my real-life exploits spilled into my creative consciousness and emboldened me to write an album that reaches far beyond what actually happened–launching me down the alternate-reality roads of what could have happened.”
