In Their Words: “‘Take it on the Road’ was recorded on 16 track tape, at the Bomb Shelter Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. and mixed by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Langhorne Slim, Hurray for the Riff Raff). We wanted it to sound like a party that everyone is invited to — hence the mariachi trumpets! Written on John’s army green Olympia typewriter, ‘Take it on the Road’ expresses the need to pursue one’s goals and leave behind all the negativity that surrounds us in our day to day lives.” — Lisa McLaggan
“The video includes footage from our kitchen to London, England and, everywhere in between. We really wanted to give a behind the scenes perspective of what our life on the road involves. Planes, cars, boats — sorry no trains — it’s all there.” — John McLaggan
