I say this in hindsight, because until I heard HCTB, and now HIAH, I didn't realize just how profoundly moving Meat's recorded voice can be, when it's high in the mix and done just the way he wants it.
Could Meat make an album of Steinman songs that I would love as much as I love these last two? Yes, I'm sure he could! He'd have to have control, though.

The only reason we have the non steinman albums from Meat we have is that Jim does not write like a juke box. He takes forever to do anything. I can't speak for anyone but my opinion is that Meat would definitely do a steinman album in a second. Like it or not, his biggest hits have been steinman songs.
He knows that and I'm sure he would give anything to have another opportunity to record steinman songs. Meat could easily do. To say he couldn't sing them, as other boards claim, has been put to rest with the release of the last two albums.
I think that the two of them working on another project would be very exciting and the result would be worth the effort.
