Notes: 1) This is the debut album of songwriter Michael Clark (not to be confused with drummer Michael Clarke of the Byrds). 2) Credits contain a somewhat nebulous piece of info reading as follows: “Associate Producers on “The Little Girl Dances On” by Michael Clark & Rodd Smarr, American Recording Studios, Nashville.”. I took this to be a typo about the recording location for track 2. 3) No photographer is credited for inner sleeve portrait.
