Spike, 1989

Excerpt from Rhino liner notes:

I called T Bone Burnett to co-produce the album. He put Kevin Killen behind the controls and away we went. Sessions were planned for Dublin, New Orleans, Hollywood, and London. Having just signed to Warner Bros. for the entire world, I was working with the budget of a small independent movie. I was hoping that they weren't expecting any change.

I had the blueprint of five albums in my head. Having felt hostility turn into invisibility at Columbia, I offered W.B. their choice. I would even shoot it out with a highly commercial producer if they so desired — believing the songs and my voice could hold their own. They told me to make whatever record I wanted. I seem to have elected to make all five albums at once.
