Michael Bolton chats to I Like Music

ILM: And it must be such a huge buzz when it all comes together?

MICHAEL: Yeah. And they love the music too. They get called in for a lot of things, so when they come in and they're getting to play some of the most beautiful music, believe me, they appreciate the days they're spending there.

ILM: What was it like writing songs with Bob Dylan?

MICHAEL: It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, because I was a Bob Dylan fan when I was about 11, and I was always in some sort of state of awe, reading his lyrics and singing along. I've always just considered him so brilliant.

I was in LA when his publisher called me and said that Bob was going to be in town for another few days, he was still touring with the Travelling Willberrys. And he was in town and wanted to know if I wanted to write with him. I thought maybe one of my friends was pulling a practical joke on me. So I was like, 'Ok. Who is this?' But it turns out that this is one of the things his publisher does, reaches out to certain people when he's in town for a week or more. So I realised it was for real and I said, 'when?' and they asked when I was available and I said 'anytime he's available!!!'
