Recording and Production
During January 1984, Vaughan and Double Trouble spent nineteen days at the Power Station on the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Hammond was named executive producer and supervised the sessions. The first track recorded was a Robert Geddins cover of "Tin Pan Alley," which was done in one take. Hammond said into the talkback microphone, "That's the best you'll ever get that song. That sounded wonderful." Vaughan's brother, Jimmie Vaughan, played rhythm guitar on "Couldn't Stand the Weather" and "The Things That I Used to Do". For "Stang's Swang," drummer Fran Christina and saxophonist Stan Harrison recorded parts for the track.
Couldn't Stand the Weather was produced by the band, along with Richard Mullen and Jim Capfer. The album was engineered by Mullen and Rob Eaton. It was mastered by Vic Anesini in New York City. With the assistance of Shostal Associates for the photograph of a tornado, graphic artist Holland MacDonald designed the album cover art.
