Published by St. Petersburg Press, I Need to Know includes 23 revealing conversations with seminal music artists including Tom Petty (four lengthy interviews conducted between 1985 and 1993), Beatles producer Sir George Martin, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Bo Diddley, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson and others. The majority of these in-depth interviews have never been published in their entirety. They were conducted for various newspaper stories – which utilized a few quotes here and there - or for the international music magazine Goldmine in the 1990s and early ‘00s.
