I think I've always approached making albums pretty much the same way. I'm just looking for a mixture of songs and topics that aren't the same thing over and over.
I like to think that I've gotten better at what I do. I spend more time and pay more attention to detail album after album. But pretty much it's stayed the same.
Buy our album, were Nirvana, a garage band from Seattle. Well, it sure beats raising cattle.
I'm free to do what I please, I'm probably not going to do albums. Just because I think releasing tracks as singles is a better way for me to stay topical.
The "Highway 61" album [of Bob Dylan] was produced by Bob Johnston if I'm not incorrect. And Bob Johnston was an entirely different producer than Tom Wilson. Tom Wilson had produced jazz records and was a Harvard educated.
Rock n Roll Animal, the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me.
When I was 25, Abba was formed. After Abba I made three solo albums. Maybe I have been productive enough.
I don't want my kid to hear any of the albums that I've made.
I did an album and they allowed me to sell it at the show. I also did a Disney cruise line gig. I always wanted to make an album and it was an idea that came to me when we first started working on Aladdin.
I always loved Alan Menken songs and wanted my first album to be a tribute to him and his work. I always loved his music.
When you work as hard as you can and as much as you can to make your first album, and you don't make any money, then you change things.
I've been told I sold 110m albums and singles. If that's the case, I should've come here in a space rocket.
