On Your Time is the first album without guitarist Jason "Rowdy" Cope, who died in January 2021. Bayliss and Cope met in 2016, became fast friends and formed the Steel Woods.
It's been difficult for Bayliss since the tandem co-wrote most of the songs from the group's first three albums, 2017's Straw in the Wind, 2019's Old News and 2021's All of Your Stones.
