Burlington Free Press: It actually felt a lot more like “Nothing But the Water” than I expected….

Grace Potter: Yeah, didn’t it?

BFP: Songs like “Only Love” and “Low Road” I felt like really….

GP: Totally like “Nothing But the Water…”

BFP: … had that same sort of spontaneous bluesy but not entirely bluesy kind of vibe.

GP: And all live, you know – almost everything on this record is live. I did some crazy psychedelic backing vocals; almost every one of Scott’s (guitarist Scott Tournet) solos is live. We did a couple of 12-string overdubs here and there but it wasn’t like we went in and padded each song, because you can’t polish a turd, you know what I mean? So if it wasn’t golden, it didn’t make the cut.
