His next effort, featuring songs written over the span of a decade, was Weeks, Months, Years, which was released in 2008. "It\'s a CD about time. It\'s a CD about growing into being a man and finding out what kind of fella I want to be", McMahon said while on tour celebrating the album\'s release. The song "Road Signs" from that album was included on Big Rock Brewery\'s 2009 compilation CD, Big Rock Untapped 2. In 2011, McMahon released All Good Stories, an acoustic album recorded at Richard Leighton\'s home studio in Lantzville, British Columbia. "All Good Stories is exactly that: a collection of stripped-down material that I needed to record in a very organic environment", McMahon has said. McMahon describes All Good Stories, which was named Album of the Year at the 2012 Vancouver Island Music Awards, as the most honest album he has created so far. "It was the first time that I\'d ever let the songs stand by themselves", he says. "The whole mantra of that record was what is the least amount of stuff I can do to this record to make it great and just let it stand on its own."\n', ' McMahon released a new album titled Put Me Back Together in April 2015. McMahon, who has released five full-length albums in 15 years, says the record is a reflection of his time living on Vancouver Island. It includes a song that pays tribute to his hometown of Ladysmith. "There is a lot of reflection of living on Vancouver Island after living in the city for eight years", he told the Nanaimo News Bulletin. The new album features 11 new songs. All songs were produced and mixed by Christopher Arruda, except "I\'ll Be Damned", which was produced and mixed by Andre Wahl. The album was mastered by Joby Baker at Baker Studios. \n', '
