Raymond, saying: "He brings chemistry. These songs, we worked a lot on them, man, on things like 'The Clearing' or 'Dangerous Night'...There's probably six different sets of words to 'Dangerous Night' and four or five sets to 'Find a Heart,' different iterations of words that we kept going back and forth, 'This isn't good enough' or 'This really, really opens up another place for us to go.

It’ll never go down as a classic of the Crosby canon, yet it is quite unlike anything else he’s ever done. Perhaps it’s best summed up in four simple words – one for the purists."

he spoke about recording the album, saying: "We decided we were making a record, and, God, it's been the most wonderful experience. I don't know how we pulled it off, 'cause we don't have any money. Actually, I do know how we pulled it off; my son has a studio (the

In the same interview, he explained that "If She Called" was inspired by a group of prostitutes that he saw near his hotel in
