After recording for twelve days in Nashville with Grammy-Award-winning engineer Sean Sullivan, Rachel Baiman traveled to Portland, OR, where she spent two weeks mixing the record with famed engineer and producer Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket/The Decemberists/First Aid Kit). “Because I self-produced the project, I felt it was important to get a totally fresh, outside perspective during the mixing process” explains Baiman. “I am a longtime fan of Tucker’s work, and it was an honor that he took on this project”. Raised in Chicago, Baiman made her way to Nashville at 18 with the dream of being aprofessional fiddle player and has since released two solo records and an EP, alongside session and side-person work with Kacey Musgraves, Kevin Morby, and Molly Tuttle among many others. As a songwriter, she has garnered a reputation for her specific brand of political and personal lyricism, which Vice’s Noisey described as ‘Flipping off Authority one note at a time”. This album is no exception; On the stripped down, Welch and Rawlings inspired “Bitter”, she sings, “I had a vision, some kind of religion/ whatmakes life worth living should pay/ but I found no meaning, nothing to believe in/ just men getting rich in the shade”. On her re-write of John Hartford’s “Self Made Man”, she adds the lines “Will you tell him that he’s done everything right and that he could never take the blame/ for the people cast out and trampled on, just because they got in his way?”.
