Michael Britt Quotations

I think if you don't put as many tracks on it, you can get better tone on all the tracks you do have. It lets the vocals stand out, especially on the song like 'I Never Needed You' with Sara Evans, who sings that with Richie. That track is so sparse, there's just so much room for their voices to take up the speakers. I even play baritone guitar on that just so I don't play a lot of frequencies that are even in the vocal range. To me it's just, that song opens up everything for the vocals to do what they do.

We probably work off of fear, ... We have bills to pay, and we have to split (profits) four ways.

We always walk around with kind of a chip on our shoulders and I feel like we've been making good music for a long time, but sometimes we're a little easier to overlook and maybe this album will make it a little harder to overlook us.

it made us think. Any time you change your whole philosophy, it makes you want to change the things that weren't working that you'd (otherwise) just live with.

Dann tends to approach things more from a pop standpoint. We don't try to be a pop band. Justin made a record that was a little more raw, not as 'produced-sounding.' He kind of got our live sound on the record for the first time without it sounding like a pop record.

In hindsight, it's the best thing that ever happened to us. When you go in with the same producer so many times you get a little lazy.

The devastation was awful. It just didn't look like the same town.
