Live's signature mix of anthemic rockers, dynamic arrangements and spiritually aware lyrics continues to grow. Songs From Black Mountain was recorded with producer Jim Wirt (Incubus, Hoobastank) at a studio in Santa Barbara in May 2005 for what became a whirlwind session. The multi-platinum band recorded all 12 of the album's songs in a frenetic burst of creativity that surprised everyone. "We haven't recorded that quickly since Throwing Copper," Kowalczyk says. "When we got in the studio, we all slipped into the zone. We were working
hard, but we were completely at ease, open to each other and in the flow. Everyone was awestruck by not only how fast we were recording, but also by how good it sounded."
