Location: Brooklyn New York, Bedford Studios

After a two year hiatus the band decided it was time to get back to work on a new album. During that time Joel managed to write over thirty new songs and was anxious to get back into the studio. With everything the band had been through it was evident that this wasn’t going to be business as usual. Armed with a vintage Gibson lap steel, Joel unleashed a punishing unapologetic wall of sound on the first few songs... but what follows is a track entitled “Nella” where Joel unplugs and reaches down deep to deliver an emotional blues requiem. It was a moving experience.
