Working with Steve Earle in the studio was a dream-come-true moment for Ana who had imagined working with the icon since she had become a fan.

Because the songs she had written for the new album were more stripped down than before, Ana envisioned them with the Steve Earle edge she had heard in the albums he did with Lucinda Williams and Ron Sexsmith.

Ana describes what it was like to work with Earle. "The day before we went into the studio Steve said he was going to 'get me out of the singer-songwriter ghetto'. He was testing the waters, to see how I felt about hard hitting drums. We recorded three songs a day with a live band, everyday for five days. Steve was totally committed every moment in the studio and pulled the very best out of each one of us on every track, always for the sake of the song. The result is that we've made a real Americana roots rock record that I am really proud and excited to share with the world."
