Jim Steinman
(the melodramatic writer behind
Meat Loaf
's
Bat out of Hell
) is the author of many of the tracks here, and they have his typical rock & roll Sturm und Drang, especially when the backup group consists of members of
Bruce Springsteen
E Street Band
. Also on hand are
The Blasters
,
Maria McKee
, and
Ry Cooder
. The album's hit single turned out to be
Dan Hartman
"I Can Dream about You."
