Back in 2008, Grace Potter took a break from her band, Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, to record a solo album with producer T-Bone Burnett, but it never saw the light of day.
Potter’s label was unhappy with the softer direction, which they saw as off-brand for the rock star persona they were building off the success of rock songs like “Ah Mary.” And her bandmates didn’t seem big on the idea, either.
So the project was shelved, and Potter returned to the studio two years later with The Nocturnals to record the band’s breakthrough eponymous third album. Eight of the thirteen songs on that album were reworked and re-recorded versions of songs from the Burnett sessions, altered to a more direct rock & roll style that fit the band.
