On January 20, 2012, The Wallflowers began recording their sixth studio album, Glad All Over , at the Black Keys ‘ Dan Auerbach ‘s Easy Eye studio in Nashville . Jay Joyce , who had played guitar on The Wallflowers’ Bringing Down the Horse agreed to produce the album. Before recording in the studio, the band had decided have a more collaborative writing process than they had in the past. Instead of Dylan bringing in fully completed songs like he had done in the past, he only brought lyrics. Dylan and the rest of the band wrote the music for the songs together in the studio. Joyce explained: “Jakob came to Nashville and we sat down and I asked him to play me a song, but instead he pulled out this 2-inch-thick notebook. ‘This is what I’ve got. Let’s play some grooves and throw it around.’ I thought, ‘Wow, that’s kind of scary, but it’s exciting.’ So we didn’t really know going in what we were going to do. We had no songs, no demos. It was all developed in the studio. The band finished recording on February 20, 2012.
