He left home at 17 and eventually surfaced in Los Angeles in the early 1980s, where he worked with Elvis Costello on 'King of America' and produced for artists like The BoDeans and Roy Orbison. His own solo work includes the 1989 album 'An Acquired Past,' which features the title track and songs like 'Seven Times Hotter Than Fire' and 'Criminals.'
