Ben Shive, producer of my upcoming album (Note: the current, though unofficial, working album title is Stories of Us), was kind enough to take the time to chime in on the progress and process of the album over at my album blog, Middle of the Storm. I think it is especially illuminating, and enjoyable, to get into the mind’s eye of a producer, especially a talented one such as Ben. I hope you enjoy the read.

Also, if reading Ben’s commentary makes you wonder aloud or internally, “Wow, I’d like to help Eric continue making this album since he’s on a shoestring budget!”, then there is a perfectly easy way for you to do just that. The album patronage is still ongoing. We’re now a little over 1/3 of the way to the overall $15,000 goal. I still could use, and would love, your help. Help Eric Make A Record.
