The album was recorded at the end of 1993 at the Power Station Studios in New York City by the great engineer Ben Fowler. This was one of the easiest and most fun times I’ve ever had recording an album. —Michael Monroe
Helping Alex Williams along this journey is producer Ben Fowler, who brought together well-known musicians such as harmonica player Mickey Raphael and steel guitarist Danny Dugmore, while Mickey Raphael also helped co-write one of the songs on the album.
“I ain’t looking for any randy trouble/ But I ain’t turnin’ any trouble down,” [Williams] sings. Producer Ben Fowler’s crunchy-yet-sleek, ‘90s country-infused production offers plenty of support behind Williams’ powerful, grainy baritone.
Guided by joy, courage, and gratitude, Americana singer/songwriter Jessica Willis Fisher is reclaiming her voice with the release of her debut solo album, Brand New Day, which is out everywhere today. Produced by Ben Fowler, Brand New Day features 10 original songs, 8 of which Jessica wrote entirely on her own.
We wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for that part of the story. So, I met my producer, Ben Fowler, who believed in me and was ready to jump in. And I recorded the album in 2020, which was such a strange year, as we all know. So it’s been a long time coming to finally put it out this year.
