Croce, and hit writers Pat McLaughlin ("Songs About Rain"), Tony Arata ("The Dance"), Danny Flowers ("Tulsa Time"), Chuck Cannon ("I Love the Way You Love Me"), Tom Hambridge ("Every Time I Hear Your Name"), Beth Nielsen Chapman ("This Kiss") and Mike Reid ("I Can't Make You Love Me"), along with some surprise guests.
