"Trouble behind the scenes" in that the original producer, Glyn Johns, blocked Stevie from using many of the musicians she was friends with and had worked with on her albums in the past... such as Waddy Wachtel.
And "trouble behind the scenes," in that Johns basically dictated what he felt the album should sound like, with apparently little regard to what STEVIE wanted her album to sound like.
Once Johns was out of the picture, Stevie and Thom Panunzio stripped many of the tracks back, and began overdubbing new instrumentation on top (including guitar work from Waddy).
Mixing and re-mixing the existing material in order to achieve a sound closer to what Stevie had originally wanted.
It's a great album, IMO, but due to the extent of the remixing and overdubbing, it lacks some of that spatial "breathing room" that her past music had.
So... the "trouble behind the scenes" that I was referring to, was in regards to the recording of the album itself, and not to any troubles in Stevie's personal life.
