Recorded at Distorto Studio (Vancouver), January 1991.

In December 1990 I got a call from Tim Devine, A&R man at Capitol Records in Los Angeles, asking if I'd be interested in co-writing with a recently signed band, "Young Gunns" (the name would later be changed to "Wildside").  The band members had already written with Paul Stanley (KISS) and the album was going to be produced by Andy Johns (Led Zepplin), so it sounded like a "good one".

Singer Drew Hannah and guitarist Brent Woods came up to Vancouver for a few days, during which time we wrote and demo'd "Monkee See Monkee Do". 

On a subsequent visit (which also included guitarist Benny Rhynedance) we wrote a second song, "Little Piece of Heaven" ... but it wasn't included on the album .

The album was released in 1992, just as "hair bands" were on the way out and "grunge bands" were on the way in. Unfortunately the Wildside album did not fare well, critically or commercially, and eventually the band broke up.

Regardless, 15 years later I got a nice email from band member Benny Rhynedance:  "Jim, my experience at your home studio helped me write better songs afterward. Plus, I'd never had a Starbucks coffee until I came to Vancouver! Who knew it would be what it is today?".
