Built in 1972 near Bogalusa, Louisiana, by producer-engineer William \u201cBleu\u201d Evans, the studio soon produced huge hits for the rock band Kansas, and Stevie Wonder used the space for several months during the creation of his ambitious 1979 double album <em>Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants<\/em>. Add Clarence \u201cGatemouth\u201d Brown, Dr. John, Jimmy Buffett, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Tony Joe White, and Trent Reznor to the client list and you get quite the mixtape. Morton fell hard for the place and its history while recording his soulful 2022 album <em>Watch the Sun<\/em>, and when the most recent owner offered to sell, he seized the opportunity. Here, he sings the studio\u2019s praises and shares some of his plans.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Promo shortcode start --><div id=\"nlf-1c\" class=\"gg-promo topic-weddings big weddings-nov25\"><div class=\"weddings-grid\"><div class=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/order.emags.com\/gg_weddings?source=inline\" aria-label=\"Click to get your copy.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardenandgun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/promos\/weddings-snowy-cover-nov25.gif\" width=\"648\" height=\"782\" alt=\"G&amp;G Weddings digital edition cover\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"right\"><div class=\"flex\"><div class=\"inner\"><div class=\"big-title\"><span class=\"nowrap\">G&amp;G Weddings<\/span> <span class=\"nowrap\">Now Available!<\/span><\/div><div class=\"dek\">Get our special digital issue and celebrate the big day in Southern style<\/div><div><a href=\"https:\/\/order.emags.com\/gg_weddings?source=inline\" class=\"button button-primary\">Get Your Copy<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- Promo shortcode end -->\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you become aware of Studio in the Country?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was during the pandemic, when everybody in music was at home. I was in New Orleans, thinking about when we could all be together again and work on a project. I knew that Solange had recorded part of her <em>Seat at the Table<\/em> album somewhere out of the city, so I started looking into that. When I saw Studio in the Country, I realized that it\u2019s a studio that easily could be in New York or L.A. It was built with the same level of love and understanding for the recording process. For it to be in rural Louisiana is kind of crazy. It\u2019s a similar concept to Muscle Shoals, where an out-of-the-way studio is the destination instead of whatever else is there. Then, when I found out that Stevie had recorded there, it was a no-brainer. That\u2019s where we were going.<\/p><div id=\"div-gpt-ad-5688643\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad mobile inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-7145488\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad tablet inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3955689\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad desktop inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" src=\"https:\/\/gardenandgun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1891.HEIC-1100x733.jpg\" alt=\"A man walks outside a building\" class=\"wp-image-213564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenandgun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1891.HEIC-1100x733.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/gardenandgun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1891.HEIC-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gardenandgun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1891.HEIC-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gardenandgun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_1891.HEIC-1600x1066.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><div class=\"wp-caption\"><div class=\"image-credit\">Photo: Patrick Melon<\/div><div class=\"caption\">Outside Studio in the Country.<\/div><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does it have a particular vibe or sound quality?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the gear and mixing boards on hand, there\u2019s a sort of vintage quality.
