McEntire played all guitar, bass, and keyboard parts on the score himself, while the rest of the soundtrack was filled out by contributions from Tortoise, the Sea and Cake, Bundy K. Brown, Polvo, and Dianogah. Oddly, Hughes hasn't directed since 1991's Curly Sue , preferring to stick with writing and producing. I don't like getting up early, and it takes a long time, but it's different when I don't direct. I do like working with actors, and editing. Shooting is a big social experience, but in the cutting room, you can do anything .
Shooting is like gathering information, editing is more like writing.
Whether Hughes directs again or not, though, his reputation is made.
