For those not on the podcast...
Thank you for posting this interview. Lots of interesting things in it. It always amazes me how the country world and pop world are so different in the way that projects are approached. One thing in particular that I found interesting was how it was mentioned that they are trying to do it more in the Nashville way for Kelly's album, which isn't something people are used to in the pop world.
Good job to everyone involved. Lots of good and informative questions asked.
