I’d get up and go outside\, see a butterfly and connect that with some impulsive thought I’d had three months ago\, and suddenly a so ng I’d been working on would make sense. That’s how the whole album ca me to be.” The follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed Wide Awake \, If I Were a Butterfly finds Baxter co-producing alongside Tim O’Sullivan (Grace Potter\, The Head and the Heart) and Kai Welch (Molly Tuttle\, Sie rra Hull)\, slowly piecing together the album’s patchwork of lush psyche delia and Beatlesesque pop. In addition to working at Thunder Sound (the K entucky studio he called home for months on end)\, Baxter recorded in Cali fornia\, Texas\, Tennessee\, and Washington\, enlisting a remarkable lineu p of musicians: Shakey Graves\, Lennon Stella\, several members of Cage th e Elephant\, Zac Cockrell of Alabama Shakes\, Morning Teleportation’s Tr avis Goodwin\, and legendary Motown drummer Miss Bobbye Hall\, among many others. In an especially meaningful turn\, two of the album’s tracks fea ture the elegant pedal steel work of his father\, Bucky Baxter (a musician who performed with Bob Dylan and who passed away in May 2020). Thanks to the extraordinary care and ingenuity behind its creation\, If I Were a But terfly arrives as a work of rarefied magic\, capable of stirring up immens e feeling while leaving the listener happily wonderstruck.
