Kim McLean is an amazing, accomplished singer songwriter with credits on albums by Tim McGraw, Trisha Yearwood, and Lee Ann Womack. But she is an incredible performer in her own right and her new EP is a mesmerizing journey into her own life via her seasoned writing and performing talent. We went for a live feel as we recorded this EP in the studio, and it payed off. I wanted to feature her vocals above (literally floating above) the band – so that her voice and the lyrics are felt and heard. The emotion in her voice is everything on this EP, and it can bring you to tears if you’re not prepared.   7m7a4640-edit

A release date hasn’t been announced for the EP, but here’s a sneak preview of one of my favorites on the album on my private SoundCloud account.

After a series of great tracking and mixing sessions, the Flat River Band released its EP and video for their new album titled Every Dog Has Its Day.  Here’s a link to the video for the title song.

When you hear the songs, you can tell that they harmonize like only family can! In the studio, I wanted to catch the spontaneity and energy that they get during live performances so we recorded the vocals all at the same time instead of overdubbing. The feel is great! The review on Billboard.com was great. Thanks for the shout-out to the studio!

Here’s a live performance of the song:
