Bill Flanagan, executive producer of the VH1 Storytellers TV series, notes that Meat Loaf was a planned subject for the show from the beginning, despite one little problem: the idea is to have singer/songwriters talk about their songs, then sing them, only Meat Loaf doesn't write his own songs; they are written for him by Jim Steinman. So, the plan was to have Steinman tell the stories and Meat Loaf sing the songs, but when the time for the taping came, Steinman was sick and Meat Loaf went on alone. The result is that the performance doesn't give much information about the composition of the songs. Meat Loaf, who is intimately acquainted with them, of course, provides some insight, noting, for instance, that Steinman long worked on a musical version of Peter Pan to be called Neverland, and that many of the songs that wound up on the first Meat Loaf album, Bat out of Hell, were intended for that musical. He also cites the Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho as an inspiration for the song "Bat out of Hell." And he vividly describes the days when he and Steinman went door to door in the music industry in New York trying to get people interested in Bat out of Hell. So, stories are told, if not quite the stories one might expect from a songwriter. And all of this really just serves as a different frame to put around many of the same songs Meat Loaf has been singing for more than 20 years, songs he sings again here with his usual fervor. (There is also a studio recording of a good new Steinman song, "Is Nothing Sacred.") ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
