That will work. I'm a little scared by how awful the new Trek movie could be.
Honestly, I think the song choices were poor, the arrangements were bland, and it was post-productioned to hell and back, but it comes down to two things in my mind:
1) I'm not convinced John is a studio performer. Everything he's done that I've loved has been in front of an audience. I think they might do better doing a live album with him.
2) Despite what he might think, John is not a machine. Expecting him to do a quality album when he's squeezing recording sessions in an hour at a time while coming from one commitment and going to an other is not going to result in a product that anyone will be proud of.
