Glen Burtnick joined Styx for this album and wound up writing some of the songs. In fact, some were songs he had been playing for a few years as a solo act. It was kind of weird seeing him in this band, but it was a good album and earned him a hit record. He also picked up a bunch of Styx fans along the way. I tend to think of this record as the lost Glen album.
"Absolutely! It is a tribute to him but it is not a tribute band," began Bon Scott "79th Birthday Tribute" organizer John Jackson as he discussed this year's event, past history and more. "What we're trying to do is model this off like what the "Experience Hendrix" folks do with their "Red House" tour where they've got several guitar players that come and do various Jimi Hendrix songs but there is not one person who is being Jimi Hendrix. So, last year we had 16, this year we have about a dozen different singers who are all going to do one or two songs; their favorites. So, it's more of a celebration and that's why we do it on his birthday rather than like a tribute gig the way people have come to know them. Hopefully we'll do him justice, it will be hot, it will be loud but it will be fun, I promise."
