"It was a challenging album to record," explains Ms. Mascott, "since part of
the original concept was to write music for a woman to sing which was in a
guitar friendly key... it keeps the music sounding full and more
legitimately rock and roll but makes it harder to perform. We wanted to try
to capture the vibe of the band and just give it a little twist..."
