Yet, in many ways, this new record finds itself in a similar vein to the previous one, "Wild Hope." While “Amanda Leigh” was recorded in a much more concise period of time, both albums just feel like a real body of work, more connected to each other – both personally and musically. When starting to really brainstorm about where the next musical venture should live, I decided to reach out to a few favorite artists of mine to see if they'd be interested in collaborating. I met Mike Viola through a mutual friend, Inara George, and within minutes of our first encounter, the mere mention of my love for Paul McCartney’s “Ram” set our working relationship in motion. Before I knew it, we were sitting around a microphone in his home studio writing a song. I quickly realized that Mike and I shared a love of so much of the same music and he innately understood the direction my music was taking me and where I wanted to take the music. Although it was immediately clear in my mind, I'm not sure I even asked Mike to produce the album; I just assumed he would…thankfully our collective assumptions and hopes prevailed. Suffice it to say, our common admiration (or perhaps, obsession) for the likes of Todd Rundgren, Joni Mitchell, CSNY and Nilsson, among many others, ran amok throughout the writing and eventual recording experience together. From my perspective, the process of co-writing is rather vulnerable and can often be fairly hit or miss. It really takes the right partnership to allow honesty and comfort to reign. What worked so well with Mike and I was that we obviously brought different things to the table but worked from the same place.... we had one common interest in mind. We pushed one another and never thought twice about fearlessly stepping up to the plate with any and all ideas. We toyed with a number of ways to record the record….turn my house into a recording studio, go the conventional route of finding a great space in L.A. and even the idea of combining these two avenues. Mike had often talked about including his friend, Ducky Carlisle, who was not only an encyclopedia of music but also a kick-ass drummer with a super cozy studio in the basement of his home outside of Boston. Sure, it was a deviation from the way I've recorded music in the past, but it felt like the only way to go about working on this record. ..!!!
