Recording: Man oh man, what’s NOT to like here? A highly creative arrangement coupled with some top-notch drum programming and quality tones all around.
Oh, and did we mention the world class vocals? Yeah, we did, but we’ll mention them again, WORLD CLASS vocals. Kelly is some type of divine cross between Ann Wilson and Judy Collins. Hey, don’t ask us, it just works!
Extra special shout out to Dan for the masterful job that he did in capturing said vocals in all their power and glory, without squashing them to death with overcompression. This is how it’s done, boys and girls.
Summary: Crazy Good!!
