Springsteen (with Toby Scott recording and mixing) produces a further recording session for Joe Grushecky. Springsteen provides the majority of musical accompaniment for the recordings; "Comin' Down Maria", also features harmony vocals from Patti Scialfa. That song and "Talk Show" appear on Joe's album American Babylon in October 1995, while "Only Lovers Left Alive" (which here features an extensive guitar workout from Bruce) would be re-recorded with the Houserockers. Although much of the album was written at this stage (it was filed with the U.S. Copyright Office on December 13, 1994), Grushecky had trouble finding an interested record company. As Grushecky has commented in interview: "We got turned down by everybody, I mean everybody. That's another reason why it took so long (for release); I didn't have any funding….. right around the turn of the year (December 1994–January 1995), Pinnacle UK became involved and we knew we had a home for the project."
