Alternative rock icon Liz Phair is recording a new double album with help from Ryan Adams and producer Don Was, according to photos Adams posted to social media last night. Was, who heads up jazz label Blue Note Records, has produced for artists including the Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, Elton John, and Ringo Starr. This week, Phair, Adams, and Was are working at Adams’s Pax-Am recording studio in Los Angeles.
“PaxAm never sounded so badass,” Adams wrote in an Instagram caption. “We got 5 in one day. All analog. Hell of a way to start it off!” Phair responded on Twitter: “I’ve got to live up to you! inspiring working w brilliant people.”
That’s all we’ve got right now—no album title or audio snippets yet. See all of Adams’s and Phair’s social posts below.
