According to Kenny, ''Topical Tunes for Troubled Times'' was recorded two times. The first time the album was recorded it was based on a 12-string acoustic guitar. The tracks became very heavy with double drums, and was described as "audacious and unruly". Cropper suggested that the initial recordings of the album would become pre-production demos. After six months, Kenny and his son Kevin J. Kenny rerecorded the foundation for most the tracks in one night.[https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Musician-Band/Brian-J-Kenny-and-the-Unique-American-Music-Experience-272131436180949/]
