Background
In 2015, bass player Monty Colvin was contacted by Jim Pitulski, an A&R for Mascot Records, who offered a contract in return for the band's reunion.{{cite web|url=https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/almost-famous-galactic-cowboys/|title=The Galactic Cowboys are Still Hoping to Take Flight|date=November 22, 2017|publisher=|accessdate=June 12, 2018|website=Texas Monthly|first=Andy|last=Langer}} Within a year, the band with its original lineup had regrouped and began working on new music. The album was written and recorded in Houston and Kansas City in early 2016, however, the opening track, "In the Clouds", was actually written in 1989 by Doss and Colvin, as the first song the band ever wrote.{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/galactic-cowboys-to-release-comeback-album-long-way-back-to-the-moon-in-november/|title=GALACTIC COWBOYS To Release Comeback Album, 'Long Way Back to the Moon', In November|date=September 25, 2017|publisher=|accessdate=June 12, 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://www.metalinsider.net/interviews/the-galactic-cowboys-return-from-outer-space|title=The Galactic Cowboys return from outer spaceMetal Insider|date=August 30, 2017|publisher=|accessdate=June 12, 2018}}
