Victoria Williams Until The Real Thing Comes Along From the Album, Water To Drink Credit: Audio Engineer "I recorded Victoria and the band in her 500 sq. ft. house at Joshua Tree, California, using minimal microphones (4 on the drums) with five musicians playing live, and then at Mad Dog with Van Dyke Parks and 22 of his best string-playing friends to capture the perfect take for the song. Enough to make the hair on the back of your neck stand at attention." Lucinda Williams Six Blocks Away From the Album, Sweet Old World Credit: Audio Engineer "With this great singer/songwriter, my main job was to capture the perfect vocal for each song. For "Six Blocks Away" we approached the vocals with a very live feel, with Lucinda singing while playing acoustic guitar. This comes across on the record with a flowing ease and makes it very listenable." Dwight Yoakam Things Change From the Album, Long Way Home Credit: Audio Engineer "Dwight is one of the best lyricists in the biz, I have always enjoyed working with him. For this anthem, our approach was aggressive from the start. Guitarist/Producer Pete Anderson set a mood with his guitar sound, and from that everything else fell right into place." Giant Sand Can't Find Love From the Album, Swerve Credit: Audio Engineer/Mixer "What a wonderful experience to work with Howe, Joey and John of Giant Sand. Kind of like a roller coaster, just jump on it and ride. The key to this band is to be ready and don't miss a thing because it all comes very quick. "Can't Find Love" came alive from the first bar, some songs are just that way. Howe is a genius; everything we have done together is truly remarkable. Please check this band out!" The Paladins Ticket Home From the Album, Ticket Home Credit: Audio Engineer/Mixer "The Paladins are a band that has been around for a long time. They like to record with vintage gear for that "sound". To capture the sonics we recorded on an old 2" 16-track tape machine and a vintage Neve console at Sound City's big room (Van Nuys, CA). Using all the gear and tricks from days gone by, we created this timeless masterpiece. This album has to be one of my favorites." Mojo Monkeys Tailpipe From the Album, Hang Credit: Audio Engineer, Mixer "With a band of musicians like this, how can anything go wrong? Knowing all the members of the band for many years and working on countless other records with them made this record extremely fun, to finally record an album of their own songs. Tailpipe is a funky little ditty. We wanted the listener to have as much fun as we were. There are a lot of outside effects going on in this song. Many of the sounds we had to create using all the old processing units we could find. Listen and see if you can pick out some of these outlandish classic sounds!"
