The other songwriting collaboration on the album, however unwittingly, is with Nashville radio evangelist, Prophet Omega. Working decades-old tapes of the Prophet Omega's broadcasts into "I Am What I Am", Belew, "... listed him as a co-author, so in case a couple of hefty guys drop by my place some day, I can say 'here's your money.' " The album cover features a five-year old (then Steven) Belew.
