He went on to study music and engineering at Middle Tennessee State University, and cut his teeth assisting legendary mixer Chuck Ainley and later the equally legendary Mike Shipley. While at high school in Greenburg, Pennsylvania, Cortelyou played trombone in several youth orchestras and jazz ensembles, and also guitar in local bands. Justin “Corky” Cortelyou’s presence at these all-star sessions was the result of a long and winding road, driven by a love of music. I was like, ‘This is awesome! How did I get here?’” It was nice to see that they too were star-struck by having Paul McCartney in the room. “After the vocal overdubs Paul also did a bass overdub, and he came in to listen back and work with me on his vocal sound, while chatting with Johnny, Alice and Joe, who were also in the room.

I was really happy that I did not hit ‘stop’ on Pro Tools, otherwise that little gem of a piece would not have been on the album! He put his cans back on and started singing along.

There was a lot of noise going on in the room, and the only microphone I could get to work on the upright piano was a PZM contact mic. Paul did arrive, and recorded his song ‘Come And Get It’ while sitting at the piano, playing live with the rest of the band present-Alice was singing backing vocals-while we also had Abe Laboriel Jr on drums. Next I walked over to Johnny Depp’s house, and set up for Paul McCartney, who was likely to come round that day. I’d put my heart and soul into that record, so that meant a lot. One day I was at the hotel in Los Angeles and I got a text in the morning telling me that a country record I had recently worked on, ‘Drink To That All Night’ by Jerrod Niemann, had gone platinum. Brian did vocals with me in the control room at Bob Ezrin’s Anarchy Studios, and at one point he was holding on to my shoulder while singing. It was so cool to be a part of that!
