5 Facts About the Making of Jenny Lewis’s Album *The Voyager*

The album took three years to write and record. Jenny Lewis spent that time writing, recording, and re-recording the material.

The final recording session lasted only about ten days. She cut the final version quickly with producer Ryan Adams.

The long writing process allowed for refinement. Lewis used the extra time to shape the songs before the final sessions.

Ryan Adams produced the album. He worked with Lewis to capture the final takes in a short burst of studio time.

The contrast between the long writing and short recording is unusual. Most albums take weeks or months to record, not ten days.
