Aaron Comess: There's an old saying that a band has its whole life to write the first album and about two weeks to write the second one. This isn't our first album, of course, but Nice Talking To Me has had the longest gestation period of any album we've made since Pocket Full of Kryptonite. An individual song may have been written by Eric, or by Chris and me, or by all four of us-but this album contains the best material from all those sources.
Eric Schenkman: Nice Talking To Me represents a lot of work in writing and gigging, the kind that you can't do right away on the heels of a huge success. It's a tremendous achievement to write and record an album like this-one that sounds like the Spin Doctors but is not a remake of Pocket Full of Kryptonite and shows amazing growth on the part of all the musicians involved.
Lead vocalist, Chris Barron, lost his voice from a rare form of vocal cord paralysis. This happend during the tour for the album Here Comes The Bride. (1999) Chris received his voice back in the end of the year 2000.
In 1992 the album Pocket Full of Kryptonite sold over 5 million copies. The popularity of the album was gained from MTV and the radio stations airing their songs. The album also gained alot of sales after The Spin Doctors appeared on Saturday Night Live in October of 1992.
