Hollywood Goes Wild! is a unique album featuring Hollywood stars performing music. The compilation album of songs was produced by executive producer Ron Lovely of All Star Media. The album was created to benefit the Wildlife WayStation charity. It was released March 27, 2001 in the US. The album was produced by Ron Lovely and All-Star Media and distributed by Navarre Corporation.

Background

Created after a meeting of Ron and Keanu Reeves while his band Dogstar were on tour. The second guest to sign on was actor Brad Pitt, who was a friend. Brad performed a new version of the song Midtown from his film Johnny Suede, directed by Tom DiCillo. Brad sang and Ron played guitars and added vocals. Ron produced the album mostly in Los Angeles with Mark Fine of Polygram, who had the label Polymedia (released the album Women For Women). Bruce Willis and Jeff Goldblum and his orchestra were also produced in Hollywood.

Ron Lovely got the idea to create this album as a concept from The Beatles Producer Sir George Martin, while he was working on one of his most famous studio albums titled In My Life. Sir George was a dear friend and mentor to Ron.
