Of the album, Shiflett comments, “I remember one night between Foo
Fighters gigs last year I went out for dinner with Dave to chit chat
about making this record. He said he had a vision of me playing through
an old Marshall JCM-800. So, when it came time to
record, we found one on Craigslist, cranked it up and it was
perfect.” Chris continues: “I think this record hits a little closer to
mixing everywhere I’ve been musically into one big blender and comes
out something a little different. Since it was my second
time working with Cobb and Co. out there at RCA Studio A, I kind of
knew what to expect as far as his process, so I intentionally didn’t
overthink or over-demo the songs because I didn’t want to get too stuck
on any ideas I brought with me. I couldn’t be more excited
about the results.”
Hard Lessons is Shiflett’s fourth solo album and the second in
collaboration with Cobb who produced 2017’s widely praised West
Coast Town.
