He would later said: " "A band should be a benevolent dictatorship. Most of the rock pundits out there seem to suggest that this is the problem, as does McGuinn himself. In a spurt of democratic fervour (well the American bicentenary was only a year away) McGuinn allowed everyone to have a say in the song writing and didn't twiddle any producers knobs.
The rational I suppose was to get in a producer, in this case John Boylan (Ricky Nelson, The Association, The Dillards, Pure Prairie League, Commander Cody) and a band he could work off, record an album and then tour to promote the same. McGuinn's two first solo albums (though not bad) were at the time met only mildly by both the critics and the public. This was McGuinn's third solo album after leaving (or disbanding) The Byrds.
Check my other entries from background on McGuinn if you don't know who he is.
