Tension is the pulling force that stretches or strains something physical, emotional, and for many of us, personal. Within Tension leans into that space.

The album was recorded in January 2025 at Sam Phillips Recording Services in Memphis, while Ross was representing Saskatchewan at the International Blues Challenge, where he, once again, reached the semi-finals.
Produced by Ross Neilsen, Kevin Houston, and John C. Stubblefield, the ten-track album blends high-octane blues-rock with raw emotional storytelling. It features contributions from Memphis heavyweights including Rick Steff and John C. Stubblefield of Lucero, Marc Franklin and Art Edmaiston (Gregg Allman Band, Little Feat), and drummer, Jay Sheffield III.
