What's sad is there is more alot more lol. The "artist"'s husband didn't like the engineer and freaked the engineer out. The husband kept trying to start arguments with the engineer (projectional because he was mad about the "fans" I guess). Everything Steve (the engineer) would recommend the husdband would shoot down and get smart about. I would recommend the same thing and he would be fine with it. Money was an issue because the husband was footing the bull I mean bill lol. The "artist" kept drinking and so did her sister resulting in several moments that should have been on Girls Gone Wild. The sister turned out to be quite the exhibitionist when she was drinking. The "artist" kept taking squirts of Cloraseptic throat spray and eating Hall's cough drops totally paralyzing her vocal chords. Mix that with excessive shots of whiskey and beer she managed to produce a quite memorable vocal performance to say the least. As far as her rating on a professional setting lol she did not even make on the chart to be rated. I don' want to be mean spirited but she was the worst I have ever recorded. I have ran up against some bad ones in my time but with everything being considered she was the worst. If she wasn't such a personal train wreck it might not have been so bad. Considering all the drama mixed with her vocal performance she takes the prize for the worst. Alot of times people come in and nerves get the best of them. If you are a country singer Nashville can be intimidating to a new comer. So sometimes you have to expect to spend some time calming the artist down. Making them feel at ease and realize everyone there is just a person alot of them from small towns originally and all of them have faced the same jitters and self doubt at some point that the artist is facing right then and there. I could not do anything with this person though. In the end she was happy with her CD. Her husband sued the engineer over something to do with EMI not releasing 2 of the songs (Steve worked @ EMI and had reserved a few songs for her. She was told to record them quick before someone put them on hold. She took her time and when she released her CD she couldn't use the songs because a big artist had put them on hold). Her husband and her soon divorced when her fan club grew to new greater numbers. I got paid and never saw her again. I heard throught he grapevine (in her case fermented grapevine lol) about her divorce. All's well that end's well but in this case all's well that ends period. As far as breaking in hey I'm dedicated what can I say lol
