So it has officially begun--the band and I have started recording my next album.  We've spent a total of about 7 days in the studio here and there, and have been making some good progress.  The magic is happening at an incredible home studio here in Austin that has awesome equipment, a great sounding room, and a relaxed feel.  From the moment I walked in I felt right at home.  I'm going about making this record very differently than I did Ledger in Nashville.  The second time around I think I'm learning even more: more about myself, my abilities, and my limitations; how to listen; how to speak up; when to push on, and when to give up and try another day.  So far it's been so good and I can't wait to hold this record in my hand.  I am not exactly sure when that moment will be, but we're shooting for early fall.

Stay tuned for updates and possible song posts!

Love, 

Claire
