Congleton says that, more often than not, he has to play the role of the policeman in the studio. Being a producer, and a musician as well, he says he's familiar with the pain and a difficulty in writing and recording an album.

For artists like Sparks, who claims he has been talked off of the ledge several times by his go-to producer, Paul West, it can be a pivotal thing, having someone else around to make the tough decisions.
