Contents

Ortega recorded Faded Gloryville in spurts, splitting the workload between three different producers. Dave Cobb, who'd sat behind the boards for Tin Star, recorded three songs at the Sound Emporium in Nashville, while Colin Linden, the producer of Ortega's 2012 release, Cigarettes & Truckstops , recorded four. Rounding out the sessions were three songs tracked in Muscle Shoals, including a Nina Simone-inspired update of the Bee Gees classic "To Love Somebody." [2]
