Jim wrote the lyrics and tunes, but Todd produced it. The excellent piano playing is Roy Bitten from Springsteens E Street Band.
As much as Meatloaf is a good bloke, this album is VERY 1970's, but I do doff my cap to Stienmans lyrics

They were actually VERY under-rated Stevie, a genuine US band that could play VERY well and not rely on gimmicks to enhance their reputaion
