This album was intended for DJs of radio stations. The DJ was provided with a set of questions and the album contains the answers to these questions, spoken by John. The idea was to make the listeners believe that the DJ was actually interviewing John in the studio.
Q1. Can you explain for me, the title of your last album?
Q2. On your album "Dream Babies Go Hollywood" the song 'Hollywood
Dreams' describes a girl who is obviously living a fantasy existence.
What's the story behind the song?
Q3. After listening to 'Hollywood Dreams' it's apparent that
this album is rather different from the last one. The sound of it
is tougher and rockier. Did it take a long time to put the album
together?
Q4. As you are producing the album yourself you've had a free
hand to experiment with different techniques. 'The Raven' has a very
haunting unusual sound. How did the song evolve?
Q5. I believe you wrote 'Night Man' for Linda Ronstadt.
How did this come about?
Q6. A track that might be a good single is 'Wheels of Thunder.'
Was it a song that came easily to you?
Q7. 'Odin' sounds like another single - any story behind this
one?
Q8. Phil Everly sings on 'Wind On The River.' How did
you get together with him, and what's he like to work with?
Q9. Tell me about the song, 'Monterey'.
Q10. Some of your songs portray an underlying feeling of strong
emotion running through them and 'Lady of Fame' would seem a good example
of this.
Q11. Tell me about 'Love Has Tied My Wings' and how you recorded
it.
Q12. 'Moonlight Rider' is a very short track on the album,
and in fact it's totally different from all the other tracks, isn't it?
Q13. How do you feel, John, when you have worked four and a
half months on an album and given it everything you've got, and it's almost
finished except for a few final touches?
