Lera Lynn's "Plays Well With Others" is a duets record featuring songs with Peter Bradley Adams, John Paul White, Dylan LeBlanc, Andrew Combs, Rodney Crowell, Shovels & Rope, JD McPherson, and Nicole Atkins. It was recorded at Single Lock's studios in Florence, Alabama. "Songwriting can be such a personal process; in the past I have tended to do it alone," Lynn admits. "With this record, I wanted to get outside of my own writing corner. I have access to a great community of writers and singers in Nashville, and it became an exciting challenge to sit down with some friends and say, 'Let's write a duet _ one that maybe hasn't been written before _ and then record it together.' This was an important thing for me to do as an artist: to open myself up to other people and have some fun."
