Alan said: "I have long been asked to bring together my eight albums worth of songs, to stream a line of stories together. I never thought it was time. It wasn't until the release of my latest album, "Lifeline", that I feel I had an ending that was less about the gravity of where I've been, and more about the advancement of who I am today and the pride that I have within that."
