Inspiration for the album was a journey that Luke Nyman made ​​in 2009 together with photographer Delphine Bedel along Route 66.  A trip from Chigago to Los Angeles., Through desert silence and screaming neon motels, and roadside restaurants.  A journey that took him into his own turmoil and back - or in the words of the title track of Trial and Error,"Through flame and feather".  It was there, on Route 66, that most of the song ideas on the album were born . He wrote & sang all the songs, played nearly all the instruments, and recorded everything at his home studio over a 3 year period, with added help from, among others, some good friends from the Amsterdam Songwriters Guild, Ro Halfhide, Leendert & Hartog. Luke Nyman grew up in England, and has lived for 25 years in Amsterdam, Holland. Previously he played with Hartog & as part of The Travelin' Tunes.
