Recording this e.p. and hearing everything that has been in my head for the past couple of years come alive on these tracks has been wonderful. Trenton, my producer, has been more than flexible as we have had a mirage of different musicians regular their establishment. What was originally intended to be a week-long project has quickly turned into three. The end product, I am confident, will be well worth the wait.
To be honest, when Trenton and I began to dialogue about the logistics of the record, specially, when it came to instrumentation, I was a tad scared. He'd ask me to tell him some of my thoughts and all I respond back with were, " Um, I think this song is a lot more country sounding." I was terrified that once we got my vocal and piano tracks laid down and we started out recording additional instrumentation I would be artistically constipated and not have anything to say. To be fair guys, this is where having an extra set of well-trained ears comes in handy. When I was sitting there going, uh...banjo? Trenton was able to say, hey! I think having a guitar solo here would be sweet! Then we're able to play off of each others inspiration and it was suddenly not that hard at all. God is good.
