I saw Terri composing a lot of this stuff a capella, building chords by ear with only vocals. I think that approach is a big part of her unique style. She has a great ear that allows her to take harmony to unusual places based on what sounds good. We have created a larger-than-life sound with only drums, bass, guitar, and vocals.”
- Mat Gilbert, Producer
