"I got very involved in the mixing with this record. Handing the record off to
Tchad Blake to mix was a good move. He then sent me mixes remotely from
Wales, where he lives, and had me comment on them. I was surprised at his
treatment of drums and electric guitar, and quickly learned that he is very good
at the hard-rock stuff and making each track stand out from one another." Eric Earley, guitarist/vocalist of Blitzen Trapper »
