CommentsRecorded at: M.C. Studios. Mixed at: Sound City, Van Nuys, CA (MCA Records) Other Side: (1989) UK/Germany-Runnin' Down A Dream US-Free Fallin' (1994) UK-Mary Jane's Last Dance The legendary Marty Jourard - he of the Motels, Road Turkey, and the unfortunate gator-eaten dog - played sax on this Full Moon Fever outtake, that did service as a B-side to "Free Fallin'" in America, "Runnin' Down a Dream" in Germany, and "Mary Jane's Last Dance" in the U.K. "'Down the Line' was almost a direct copy from some old rhythm and blues song I'm embarassed to say I don't remember the name of," Mike admits. "Phil Jones, the drummer on Full Moon Fever, brought in this 45 one day and said 'You gotta hear this track.' It was an amazing groove, so we copped the basic feel of it and I wrote some new chords. Then Jeff came in and suggested changing some chords, and then Tom came up with some words."
