这张专辑歌曲取材于西北这片曾经最为开放融合的土地，从花儿、陕北民歌、秦腔、秧歌、社火小调到凉州贤孝，张尕怂采撷一颗颗散落在民间田野的珍宝，与制作人周侠一同大胆而巧妙的将东方根源音乐放置到西方现代流行音乐体系下，从根源蓝调到一脉相承的嘻哈，听者彷佛与张尕怂一起体验一场穿越时空的音乐之旅：在张尕怂特有的泥土味儿的方言演唱中，一路沿黄河在东西方乐器的混响中漫步，你可以听到曾与滚石乐队合作的蓝调口琴传奇Sugar Blue用密西西比萨克斯风在黄土高坡上婉转低诉，在崔健乐队吉他手艾迪那粗粝的蓝调吉他中体味黄土地的忧郁，在田间地头与俄罗斯首席贝斯手Anton Davidyantz和美国顶级爵士鼓手Anthony Vanacore组成的节奏组一同摇摆。传唱数百年的民歌在《土潮·张尕怂》中穿越时间的乐流，横跨不同的文化乐土，在解构与重组中驶向新的旅程。
