Eli Young Band has been working on their next album, featuring their current hit “Drunk Last Night,” and James Young says the process of recording the next album is pretty straight-forward. “We’ve recorded this record the same way we’ve recorded the same way we’ve recorded the last few records; it’s just us in a room and in the studio looking at each other and hashing out songs and parts. It’s all us playing on the record, which is awesome.” Finding material is also fairly uncomplicated in terms of the approach. “We choose songs. We choose a variety of songs on every record,” says James, “fast songs to slow ballads. So it’s pretty much—it’s us writing on the record, it’s great songs that we’ve found that really moved us and moved us to record them.” Eli Young Band is currently out on their Drunk Last Night Tour, which will wrap up on December 27th in Robinsonville, Mississippi.
