On the video, we hear just pieces of some songs. Will the full songs be on the soundtrack?
Yes, the full, re-mastered songs will be on the album.
Some of the songs featured in the film were done with you singing, and some with Michael Johns singing. Did Jeff Foxworth take lead vocals on any of the songs?
No, but I think he sang some background vocals here and there.
How many songs were done with each of you featured on lead vocals?
Michael sings lead on all but one of the vocal songs (10 total including bonus). I sing lead on the end-credits song "View From Up Here".
You mentioned in our last interview that you might perform with Michael at this year's X-Games. Has that been confirmed yet, and if so, what date?
Not confirmed yet, but we may be performing at X-Dance in Park City. January 18 is the date that has been discussed, but not confirmed as of yet.
Although it hasn't been announced anywhere yet, we've seen Jeff Foxworth performing with Michael at most of his post-idol television appearances. Have you heard whether or not they will be touring together, and are you considering touring with them?
As far as I know Michael has not assembled his touring band yet, but I'm sure I speak for both Jeff and I by saying we'd be honored if asked. At that point it really just comes down to scheduling as to whether or not we'd be able to do it.
Now, I've spent countless hours at forums and websites discussing and speculating with the other members as to what we fans should expect from the musical score of a documentary film. We've waited and wondered patiently just to hear news of a single
from Michael Johns, currently scheduled for release in February.
I can barely contain my excitement to hear how these guys have teamed up to provide for us so much more than we ever dared hope for. The photo at left is the Official soundtrack art, thanks once again to Rye.
It's almost as if the artists have known all along, we fans couldn't wait until February or March for new music.
They must be grinning from ear to ear as they're thinking, "Oh you want news of a single? How about a full album instead?"

Well said Felicia. I can't wait to see what else these guys have in store for us. I wasn't able to see the last tour, so I'm looking forward to any tour possibilities in the future.

Thanks for the great article, you've done it again Ultimate! You have a fan here in Canada. Oh!! I must say those are 3 of the most beatiful and talented men I have ever seen in one picture, they ALL have STAR quality!!

Lisa, thank you so much for your continued readership and following the great talents we post here. I'm a fan of all three of the men too and this soundtrack is going to blow their fans away. I must say having the three of them in one photo was purely a stroke of good luck. I happened across the photo while looking at pics on Rye's MySpace. I wrote Rye to ask his permission to use the photo unless he had the soundtrack art. In his gracious reply, he sent the album art and offered his permission to use both. Lucky for all of us!
