Saturday, January 27, 2018 - The NAMM Show - Jackson Browne and The Section To Be Honored At NAMM TEC Awards

Jackson Browne will be honored by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) at the 33rd Annual NAMM Technical Excellence & Creativity Awards (NAMM TEC Awards), being held Saturday, January 27, 2018 in Anaheim, CA. Browne will receive the prestigious Les Paul Innovation Award given on behalf of the Les Paul Foundation to “honor individuals that have set the highest standards of excellence in the creative application of recording technology in the spirit of the famed audio pioneer, inventor and musician, Les Paul.”

Browne, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2007, released his debut album on David Geffen’s Asylum Records in 1972. Since then, he has released fourteen studio albums and four collections of live performances, and has sold over 18 million albums in the U.S.

In a statement issued on the official NAMM’s website, Les Paul Foundation Executive Director Michael Braunstein said that, “Jackson Browne’s success as a singer, songwriter and guitarist has had a prolific impression on the music industry throughout his successful career. Like Les Paul, Jackson has never shied away from expressing his emotions or thoughts through his music. I have no doubt that Les would have liked to share a few jams with Jackson along the way.”



Also being honored that night will be The Section as the newest inductees to the NAMM TEC Hall of Fame. Dubbed the “Knights of Soft Rock” by Rolling Stone, reaching their peak in the Seventies playing alongside the biggest names in the business, including James Taylor, Carole King, and Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Section released three of their own albums and toured and recorded with Jackson Browne in various occasions. Danny Kortchmar (guitar), Craig Doerge (keyboards), Leland Sklar (bass), and Russ Kunkel (drums) will reunite on stage for a rare performance in support of the evening’s celebration. The Section will also be the panel in a discussion of Jackson Browne’s 1977 album “Running on Empty” moderated by Mr. Bonzai (David Goggin) being held at 4:00 pm.

Helen Reddy - I Am Woman
Capitol ST-11068 (1972) - US LP

Side One

1 - Peaceful
2 - I Am Woman*
3 - This Masquerade
4 - I Didn’t Mean To Love You
5 - Where Is My Friend

Side Two

6 - And I Love You So
7 - What Would They Say

10 - The Last Blues Song

Notes: 1) Album does not come with musician credits. However, in an interview at www.musiciansfriend.com Lee himself mentions how he was the bass player on the #1 title track single. 2) On the May 5, 1973 issue of Billboard magazine, editor Nat Freedland interviews producer Jay Senter and keyboardist Mike Melvoin about the session musicians on the “I Am Woman” single. Lee is mentioned as the bass player on the track. You can find the interview, which appeared on the “Creative Trends” column, searching for Billboard magazine at books.google.com. 3) The 2002 6-CD Anthology box-set “Capitol Records Sixtieth Anniversary - 1942-2002” (Capitol CDP 7243 5 39302 2) includes the single “I Am Woman” and a list of musician credits for the same track, which you can find below. The notes in the anthology define the track as “Original short version from the Columbia motion picture “Stand Up And Be Counted” (1972)”. Please note that the version in question is exactly the same as included in the “I Am Woman” record album. Also, anthology notes mention previous version of same song, which was included on the Helen Reddy album “I Don’t Know How To Love Him” (1971): no personnel credits for this latter album are available, neither from original vinyl release nor from Australian CD reissue (see Helen Reddy entry above). 4) Album was reissued in 2005 for the Australian market by Raven Records as a 2-album single CD on Raven RVCD-168. Reissue also contains Ms. Reddy’s subsequent album “Long Hard Climb” and two previously released bonus tracks from the “Live In London” album, “This Masquerade” and “The West Wind Circus”. 5) Australian CD reissue does not come with musician credits.

Notes: 1) Album does not come with musician credits. In the following wikipedia article it is however described how track 4 was recorded during the same “I Am Woman” tracking session. No source for this info is clearly mentioned so make of it what you will. It remains to be seen whether the whole description is a matter of inference given the sharing of same producer (Jay Senter) on both tracks. 2) Album was reissued in 2005 for the Australian market by Raven Records as a 2-album single CD on Raven RVCD-168. Reissue also contains Ms. Reddy’s previous album “I Am Woman” and two previously released bonus tracks from the “Live In London” album, “This Masquerade” and “The West Wind Circus”. 3) Australian CD reissue does not come with musician credits.
