"For 10 songs this brimming with intensity, the making of this record was implausibly pain free. It was easy and you can do it too — just like we did: in two nights of recording and a couple overdubs. Easy yes, but first you'll need to find an artist like Barbara Hall, a fantastic singer, a writer who knows the magic of what makes songs connective and a hawk-eyed observer of both the foibles and triumphs of the human spirit. On secong thought, that might be hard."
