Obviously, we all love Jim as a songwriter, but I'm curious to what you guys think of him as a producer.
I always loved his productions. Despite only contributing with two songs, I think he managed to get Bonnie's "Faster Than..."-album to sound not like he had written every single song on it, but at least give every song a unique touch. I love "Take Me Back", and I'm also very impressed with the reggae-touch on "It's A Jungle" and how he actually managed to make "Straight From The Heart" to not sound like a karaoke-cover.
Another great example is "My Little Red Book". I find most versions of this song hideous and awful, but he really pulled it off thanks to mainly the percussion and Ellen Foley as vocalist.
