"In my many years of working in recording studios, I’ve become a severe critic of those that are poorly maintained and seemingly set up for recording disasters when the red light goes on. This isn’t the case when recording at the Nutthouse in Sheffield Alabama. Jimmy Nutt, the owner and chief engineer has used his many years of experience in recording sessions in Muscle Shoals and around the world to make a world-class recording environment at his studio. From the count-off of the first song to fade-out of the last, you can be confident that you are working with an experienced artist! "

“Making Burn.Flicker.Die at the NuttHouse was such an incredible experience. Jimmy was crucial to bringing that record to life. We immediately felt comfortable in the space and that’s one of the most important things about making an album. I think it’s safe to say that record couldn’t have been made anywhere else."
