"I'm very, very proud of us; I've never worked in that vein," interjected Willie. "I never was a guy who could write under pressure or under the gun. I always thought that it would sound too contrived. One of our big things with songwriting is to let the song kind of happen and not force it but we were literally forcing songs and yet I'm very proud of them; I was worried over nothing. So, I learned that lesson, let the people do their jobs. So, to the point of filler songs, don't get us wrong. The songs we're talking about that we found to be the weaker songs on the album; we don't think they're bad songs, we just think they are the weaker ones. We don't think they are bad songs, we just think they're the weaker ones on the record."
A new producer who hadn't done a country record, a radio guy, studio musicians and the artist; sounds like the beginning of an old joke; however, this was anything but, add in time constraints and there was a sense of urgency to complete the record. Oftentimes when these scenarios align, the results can be less than each party hopes; often, producers and record companies try to change the artist's sound or direction. Once again, the duo emphatically said, "No, it is not the case!"
"Shel didn't try to change things," Kira was quick to answer, "He went back to some classic arrangements that Willie and I weren't used to at the time and when we say, whatever Shel says. goes; our integrity as songwriters was never once compromised. He said that he loved our sound and really wanted to work with us and he wanted to enhance that, not change it. Now, we're not gonna just bend over backwards for some producer no matter who he is if he tries to turn us into something we're not but letting Shel just go; we went into it with an open mind and whatever he did we loved. There was never anything he did where we went, I don't care who you are, we're not doing that. All he did, we found acceptable and the changes were brilliant; we just never thought they'd work. I remember having so much anxiety about it because we had gone into the studio and did good quality acoustic demos with the songs that we were gonna do and sent them to him and he sent back a ton of changes. He sent back key changes, modulation and arrangement changes and I was like; What?! These are brilliant! Then we were like, nope, we are gonna let Shel do what Shel does. I wouldn't have done modulations because I was scared of them (laughs). I thought it was hard to change keys out of the blue," added Willie with a large laugh.
Now that they've trusted the process and tried different things which gave their music a different look; how do they feel about the players who may be recording or touring with them in the future? Are they looking forward to hearing their spin on their songs both old and new or will things remain status quo?
"What ended up happening is," laughed Kira, "Shel brought out something in both of us that we didn't know was there. That's why I say we learned so much from Shel and all the players on this record. We had no idea, we would never have thought of putting modulations on a song before and I think there are three of them on this album. I think in both of our heads that we thought modulations were a little bit more complicated than they are but they are not; we just have to go back to the G (laughs). A lot of people, us included, you just tend to find comfort in the things you know and we were stuck for a little while; not that our previous two albums weren't good too but when you write with the same people all of the time and play with the same players all of the time, you can get stuck in a rut and Shel 100 percent brought us out of that."
"That can go the opposite way too," laughed Willie who has had some experience with this in the past. "That's a tricky line because once the songs are recorded and done and you hire someone to play those parts and keep the integrity of what's on the record there; you can have a little bit of freedom but we've had people come in and bring their whole spin and it's like, it's not a reggae song man; it's a country song! Do it my way! So, it's a fine line with that, so, if somebody is coming in there and adds a little bit of temperature to a song that you've tired of playing, that's good but it can go the other way fast."
With the album's August 25 release date behind us; how do they intend on promoting the new record? Kira says, "They'll be busy."
"We are going all the way from Florida to California via Texas, New Mexico. Then we are going to Chicago, Grand Rapids, over to Nebraska. I think from September 1 to October 28 we are booked for this album release tour."
