“A Good Day was very much inspired by the love and passion I feel for my wife,” shared Wood, speaking on the new track. “Ultimately, every day is a good day because I have her, and our little family. I remind myself of that every day, and to be grateful for what I have. It’s the ultimate gift. As I say in the song, life may not always be pretty, we may stumble and we may fall, but I am standing next to you.”

Following a celebrated national headline tour and a successful run supporting the legendary Bonnie Raitt, Dear John sees Wood collaborating with five-time Grammy-winning mixer Ryan Freeland (Bonnie Raitt, Ray LaMontagne). Described as, ‘a letter to himself’, the album captures both Wood’s signature sincerity and boundary-breaking artistry.

“After last stepping off the Massey Hall stage, I decided that it might be time to retire from music and focus on my family and our dreams,” shares Wood, speaking on the record. “A voice deep inside suddenly became very vocal about what I had to do next. It told me that I needed to honour the child that began my journey in music all those years ago. It told me that I needed to make a true, genuine and unabashed album that the kid in me would love.
