413. Producer/songwriter Jeff Trott on co-writing and making Sheryl Crow's classic self-titled album and the secrets to a 30 year creative partnership

<p class="p1">Today on the show I’m joined by the legendary Jeff Trott - songwriter, producer and guitarist - for a deep dive into the making of a classic record he produced and largely co-wrote, Sheryl Crow’s 1997 self-titled album.</p> <p class="p1">Jeff opens up about writing I<strong>f It Makes You Happy</strong>, getting drafted in last minute to salvage the production of the record after the original producer bailed, how Robbie Robertson saved <strong>Every Day Is A Winding Road</strong> from the scrap heap, how the songs evolved in the studio, the secret to maintaining a three decade long creative partnership and what it’s like to constantly encounter music you helped create every time you go to buy groceries.</p>
