Strangely enough, I had a hand in producing a Paul Spring song about 4 years ago. Jed was recording some drums for my senior project, and we ended up recording a drum track for one of Paul&#8217;s songs. It was about Mountain Dew. Apparently he had (or maybe still has) an obsession.<\/p>\n<p>All of these guys were startlingly efficient at recording. Whereas my own guitar playing seems to require 50 takes per song, Paul did one. He sang the lead vocals twice. Jed and Danny nailed their parts in just a few takes. Dylan was spitting out so many sweet guitar riffs, it was painful to let them fall by the wayside. Hopefully these guys will remember me someday when they&#8217;re off touring the world, being musical guests on SNL, picking up babes, etc.<\/p>\n<p>To hear some more of Paul&#8217;s tunes, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulspringmusic.com\/\">PaulSpringMusic.com<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/paulspringmusic\">YouTube.com\/PaulSpring<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check back soon for a behind the scenes video from Jeff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I recorded a guy who has won all nine battle of the bands he&#8217;s entered, including one earlier tonight.
