WCT: You have done so many collaborations over the years. How do you whittle them down [to one CD]?
* * *
There's also Stevie Nicks [in "Let Me Count the Ways"]. She's been a friend for a long time, but to get a superstar like that to sing on my album was a big coup. I remember the day—March 26, 1996—and she was scheduled to come at eight in the evening; she got there at 11 p.m. I was so happy she was there; this was a true rock star. So she was there for a half-hour—and then she disappears! Thirty minutes later, at the stroke of midnight, she walks back into the studio with a cake and candles—because it was my birthday at the stroke of midnight. She then sang "Happy Birthday" to me—which will go down as the best rendition of that song ever. Then, in 10 minutes flat, she did the vocal to the song.
