Stevie and John Shanks

[petep9000]

Has Stevie spoken about her experiences working with John Shanks? Like whether she connected with him, enjoyed working with him, felt he crafted her music beautifully, etc? I do like the material he produced for her, like TBAA, TISL, and POTU. I wasn't crazy about 'Every Day', and FFG is a bit too 'noisy' for me, especially towards the end. But, I liked his work with Melissa Etheridge, and I'll admit it...I have a guy-crush on the big lug.

Other than general comments - I cannot remember anything that eye opening.

She must have liked him though becuase he produced Peacekeeper on SYW (http://www.johnshanks.net/) - which is interesting because that version does not sound that wildly different than LB's GOS version, which I like better.

She said Lindsey liked John's work on POTU and marveled that he was able to work such wonders on a song that Stevie had had for years.

She spoke about working with him in an E Universe Live radio interview right before the album was released. Perhaps someone has the audio or a transcript of it?

She's said nothing but positive things. She was very glad that he worked on her songs, seeing Sheryl Crow didn't know what to do with a few of them.

I actually had the audio, so I've uploaded it for anyone who wants to check it out. The interview was actually pretty good. It's a little over 20 minutes long. She talks about John Shanks toward the beginning. Enjoy.
