I wrote the majority of this record in 2 weeks. 3 weeks later I was in Rhinebeck with my friend and producer Paul Antonell where we decided that we’d cut this record much like the last one – every song off the floor with live vocals and limiting ourselves to only 3 takes. In every case on this new album [and incidentally, Neil, true to your belief that the first take is always the best...] the tracks that made the record were and are the first takes – without exception!
