Hello all,
Thank you so much - so excited - this makes my day!
Here's the questions that I emailed to Lora / Fan Asylum on 8/31 -
Here are my two questions for Steve:
1. Steve, thanks for all of the amazing music from your soul over the years. I'd be interested in finding out your level of involvement in the process of developing the Greatest Hits Vol. 2 - Did Sony reach out to you first, and did you simply select the songs / track order? Or, did you also help with the packaging / photos / liner notes? Was the remastering process the same as what was used for the 2006 CD remasters, or were the tracks updated again in the studio specifically for this release?
2. We've heard that you've been in the studio, in 2009, with Russ Miller as the drummer during the recording sessions. Are these the same sessions and songs related to your statement from this year that indicated that you have "50 songs written" and ready to develop? Were some of the tracks the same, or did you write different songs for the newest batch? I love your voice (all ranges) and your emotional delivery, and even if your voice has changed due to the aging process that hits all singers, it would still be great to hear new material from you - perhaps a different style change, similar to what Rod Stewart did recently? What are your thoughts on this?
They weren't actually selected for Steve to answer in the Q&A, but my email was drawn for this giveaway!
