A Thousand Miles Left Behind is the second studio album by American country music band Gloriana . It was released on July 31, 2012 via Emblem Music Group/Warner Bros. Records .[ 2]
It is their first album since the departure of band member Cheyenne Kimball in 2011.[ 3] According to group member Tom Gossin, the album was completed before Kimball's departure, but the songs (including "Wanna Take You Home") were then re-recorded without her. A song that Kimball wrote (called "Piece of My Heart"[ 4] ) was also removed from the track list.[ 5]
The trio had a hand in writing all of the album's eleven tracks.[ 6] Three singles have been released from the project, including the group's first top five song, "(Kissed You) Good Night ."[ 7]
