Jack: “We’re kind of dying country stars on the cover and that’s one little aspect of this whole death of a sweetheart idea, modern country music has obliterated all honesty from country.” Toe Rag Studios: Jack: “It’s just a couple of rooms in an old warehouse that the owner and engineer, Liam Wilson, rented out to set up his whole studio. It’s very much like an English Beat studio from the ’60s. Liam wears a white lab coat. It’s not like an L.A. studio, where it’s nicely carpeted and warm, with a cappuccino machine and video games between takes. It was freezing. I liked that, because it forced us to concentrate on what we were doing.
