MotorCycle marks a shift toward neo-psychedelia for Daniel Amos, departing from their earlier alternative rock sound. Instruments on the album include lap-steel guitar, electric sitar, pan flute, and squeeze box.
The album is dedicated to the memory of singer-songwriter Mark Heard, who died in 1992.
Longtime guitarist Jerry Chamberlain returned to the band for MotorCycle. He contributed lead and rhythm guitars, lap-steel guitar, electric sitar, backing vocals, and sang lead on the track "Wonderful."
MotorCycle was recorded across multiple Southern California studios: the Golden Recording Room in Huntington Beach, Neverland Studios in Cerritos, McCrums in Whittier, and Wax Lips Studios for pre-production demos.
"Grace is the Smell of Rain" was rerecorded by the Lost Dogs, Terry Scott Taylor's other band, for their 2004 album MUTT. It was originally written by Taylor and Chamberlain for the MotorCycle album.
