The music of Motels & Highways represents a timeline in the career of Old Union. These songs are full of all the first hand experiences that life in a traveling band can offer. This album is more than music and lyrics, this is a record carved of honest, carefully crafted and road tested songs dyed with our influences and finished in our own musical perspective. If nothing else, “Motels & Highways” is a crystal clear picture of the heart and soul of Old Union.

    Lyrically the songs cover trips across the country from coast to coast and up into Canada. Personal songs of sacrifice, self-destruction, broken relationships and ultimately, redemption. Songs like the title track, “Motels and Highways”, “Jericho”, and “Time of Your Life”, are songs about taking the music you believe in to different places and the illustrating the journey along the way. “Backbreaker” and “Justified” tell the story of being pushed all the way to the edge with no room to move. “1000 New Ways To Fly” and “Sweet Freedom” are songs about the search of a means to an end, a search that has almost broken you down, yet will one day be worth all the sacrifice. There are many other emotions living in this music, waiting to be discovered.
