Vocalist Jeff Keith spoke to the Classicrocknewswire recently about upcoming collection: "We're going to call it Real 2 Reel because we did it on two-inch tape, which nobody hardly ever does anymore. We wanted that warmth of the two-inch tape. That way it's real. Because with ProTools, let's face it — you can make anybody sound like anything. When it comes to tape, you're recording whatever you're laying down, so you've go to feel it. We kept it real-like-live. We would do two or three takes and go in and pick the best take, maybe fix a little part here and there. Of course all my vocals were scratch - and then when I would go in to do the vocals, I would do the same thing. Sing through it like three takes and pick the best one."
