Production

The album was produced by Joe Chicarelli, who has produced Elton John, Frank Zappa, and Rufus Wainwright in the past; Barzelay (jokingly) told Rolling Stone that the reason Chicarelli was talked into producing the album was that "he might have had some community service obligations or unpaid parking tickets."^[1] Half of the songs on the album were cut live.^[1]
