Nashville Canyon: Meet The Band

"Nashville Canyon was recorded at studios like East Nashville’s Creative Workshop and RCA Studio B with live musicians, the first time in her entire career that Simpson had done so. “I’d only worn headphones and had a track in my ear,” she says. “I never got to feel the unearthing of a song and breaking it down.” McPherson urged her to explore her lower register, especially for the vulnerable songs about her personal heartbreak. The band followed her lead, instead of her following orders. Simpson stocked the studio with candy and McPherson describes recording as 'the most fun I’ve ever had in a studio situation. Everybody kind of felt like we were giving her some new experience that she deserved but hadn’t had yet.'”
