Eleven original songs on The Air That You Breathe, eight co-written with an amazingly talented lineup of collaborators, including Janis Ian ("When He Was Here"), David Mallett ("Closer To Truth"), friend and industry insider Karen Leipziger (the title track), frequent partner Terry Clayton ("Where'd They Go," "The One You Love," "The Road"), Rees Shad ("Love") and Miguel Salas ("William Cooper Smith").
Produced by Scott Paschall and recorded at Nashville’s famed Sound Emporium, The Air That You Breathe features musicians Dan Dugmore (James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt), Pat McGrath (Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood), Dave Pomeroy (Don Williams, Elton John), Phil Madeira (Emmylou Harris, Phil Keaggy), Bryan Owings (Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams), Chip Davis (Alabama, Dolly Parton), Billy Davis (Dolly Parton, Don Williams), and Michael Spriggs (Kenny Rogers, Elton John). Mandolin master Sam Bush joined in on four songs, and celebrated Texan Jimmie Dale Gilmore lent his backing vocals to "William Cooper Smith."
“Tributes aside, newcomer Lance Cowan did nothing less than position himself as one of Americana’s most promising new singer-songwriters with the vivid portraits of friends and family defining his debut album,
So Far, So Good.”

“Oh. My. God!
And holy heads of cabbage,
what an amazing record!”
Bob Cannon / Music Critic
"I found myself being swept away by your beautifully understated vocal and the poignancy of the lyrics. It occurred to me how you had with this one set the bar very high. And it is a bullseye."
