“I wanted to do something different this time…take some more care and explore all the possibilities the studio has to offer. “ In the past, my records had been recorded live in two or three days, straight to tape, with little to no overdubbing,” Klatt explains. Likewise, Klatt took a different approach to the production. The title itself aptly defines the overall vibe of the record, and the fact that it’s the only outside contribution provides a subtle way of alluding to the collaborative nature of the album. It’s credited to guitar and steel player John James Tourville. Ironically, the title track is the only song that Klatt didn’t write. From the supple balladry of “I’ll Never Let You Down,” “Ramblin’ Kind,” “Highway Lines,” and “Looking for Love” to the coolly confident “World Shaker,” the swampy groove of “Caught in the Middle” and the robust rock n’ roll of “Prove My Love,” It Ain’t The Same is, as its title suggests, something truly special. Recorded at Reliable Recorders in Chicago, it’s the most definitive example yet of this young man’s prowess and potential. With Klatt himself singing, playing guitar and sitting in the producer’s chair, it boasts the talents of a skilled set of session players - John James Tourville (The Deslondes) on electric guitar and pedal steel, Casey McDonough (NRBQ) on bass skills, Alex Hall (JD McPherson, The Cactus Blossoms, Robbie Fulks) on drums, percussion, keys and engineering and Page Burkum (harmony on “I’ll Never Let You Down” and “Highway Lines”). His upcoming album It Ain’t The Same (due September 27 on Yep Roc Records) reflects that reverential attitude, but adds a depth and devotion that ensures its contemporary credence. the way he’s mastered his deft finger-picking technique and used that sturdy approach to bring his material an authenticity reminiscent of the most revered musicians and storytellers. Yet, his artistic integrity extends to more than simply his songs. He comes across as a young man with a wizened and worldly perspective, an artist who possesses a timeless sensibility of both place and purpose.
