Notes from Jeff on “Anyone With A Heart:”
I usually play my own guitars, but on this project I decided to bring in guitarist Tim Pierce who I worked with in Rick Springfield’s band. One of the things I really enjoy is working with professionals like Tim to collaborate on a project. It gives me the opportunity to come up with ideas that I might not think of myself and vice versa. I also brought keyboardist extraordinaire, John Philip Shenale into the project. Phil and I played on numerous records together including several by Rick Springfield. We also performed live with Redbone. Shenale is best known for his string arrangements with Tori Amos and as the producer Willy DeVille’s last four records. He has also been featured on albums by Jane’s Addiction, Tracy Chapman, Billy Idol, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, The Bangles, Dionne Warwick, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and John Hiatt to name a few.
