Singer/songwriter and guitarist Jim Foster founded and fronted the late '70s band Fosterchild but is perhaps best known for his 1986 hit single 'X-ray Eyes'. In this revealing chat with Dan Hare Jim delves into: meeting, and being influenced by, Roger McQuinn of The Byrds; the Fosterchild years; his solo work and awards for 'X-ray Eyes'; co-writing with Murray McLauchlan; how his songs 'disappeared' off the charts overnight; why not having a record deal was a good thing; the sacrifice he made for his career; what he has in the works now, and much more.
