How did you first meet Sera Cahoone?
Her manager contacted me, and we totally hit it off. She's super cool and I love her drumming. We ended up making Sera's From Where I Started, and it was really fun. We did a strings record too [The Flora String Sessions]. Then Margo said to Sera, "I love your record. Will you produce me?" Sera called me and said, "Do you want to do this?" I said, "Totally."
Sera said that she was really comfortable working with you.
She's a friend now. But also, since I had produced her record before Margo's – and got sounds, drum sounds, and went through that process – we never even talked about that "technical" stuff. It was just, "Great. Let's record it." It came together quickly because she and I already knew that that's the way we were going to do it. It made that part easy. Then it was way more about takes and performances. I should add that Margo really has her shit together!
