An album should be an experiment in sound. Calvin entered the Audio Eagle Studio in Nashville, TN using the premise “Rock’n’roll Will Never Die” as a starting point. Working closely with Producer Patrick Carney and Chief Engineer Marc Whitmore, the team tested the resiliency of such time honored materials as the electric guitar, modular synthesizer and trap drum kit, combining them in various ratios with musical elements like chords A, C and Dm. The results are a Frankenstein’s monster of an album. Following in the tradition of such Brill Building songwriting teams as Leiber-Stoller, Greenwich-Barry and Goffin-King, all the songs are a collaboration between Johnson and Carney. Carney is best known for his work as a member of the Akron, OH powerhouse The Black Keys, and established Audio Eagle to further exactly this type of rock’n’roll workshopping, allowing the music and songwriting of NOW to rocket launch into the FUTURE. Calvin first met Patrick in 2005 while touring the United States following the release of his second solo album. The two kept in touch over the years. Patrick suggested some sort of collaboration; they got together with only the belief that music can ooze from the savage breast, and the album emerged from the primal dross. An important element of the sound success is the contribution of chanteuse Michelle Branch, who provides back-up harmony vocals on three songs. Ms. Branch, who scored many hits in the early double-0 decade as a solo artist and as a member of the Wreckers, lives next door to Audio Eagle. Intrigued by the sounds ratcheting forth from the lonesome shack that houses the studio, she walked over to see for herself what all the hubbub was about. Before long she was singing like a bird, in three part harmony. The cover painting is by Jean Smith, based on a photograph by Sarah Cass. Like that monster of Dr. Frankenstein’s, this rock’n’roll will never die.
