The recording
The song was recorded for the album 'Some Hearts' (2005) at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and other Nashville locations. It was produced by Mark Bright. The track features a professional session band including Tom Bukovac and J.T. Corenflos on electric guitars. The 'distorted' riff tone is characteristic of the hybrid country-rock production style of the mid-2000s, focusing on clarity in the mix while maintaining enough gain to provide an aggressive punch.
