5 - Where Is My Friend

Side Two

6 - And I Love You So
7 - What Would They Say
8 - Where Is The Love
9 - Hit The Road, Jack
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.

I had a great time playing and singing under the loving and watchful eyes of my producer Mr. Steven Soles. I would also like to thank my wonderful engineer Mr. Larry Hirsch. Larry was admirably assisted by 2nd engineer John Sorensen. I would also like to send HUGE BUSHELS of love and thanks to the ever lovely Jenny Price (my A&R) for without her this album wouldn’t even be here. Muchas Gracias, Jenny. This album is dedicated to Larry Hirsch’s hamster Avery, A.K.A. the mooster micester who died and went to hamster heaven while we were in the midst of recording.

A busload of thank yous to Robert Duffey, my friend and manager. For all of you technological geeks out there this album was recorded analog using a Radio Shack micro cassette answering machine. // At this time of this long-winded thank you recipe I would like to add 4 gallons of thank yous to all of the Rugburns fans for supporting me over the years and letting me crash on your floors and drink your whiskey. Don’t worry, there will be another ’Burns CD in the future. I just wanted to be sensitive folk guy Joe and not have anyone die in this batch of songs, including the Mommy deer. Once again thanks for listening. Love, Steve Poltz”.

I would also like to thank Dana Millman, Ken Weinstein, Dave Einstein and all the super kool folks at Mercury Records. // A Schwinn bike with a basket full of thank yous goes out to Diana D’Amato for nursing the bird back to health with that cute little bird dropper full of baby food. I gotta thank Sam D’Amato for getting me hooked on cough syrup and Valium and turning me on to his bookie. 12 steps won’t be enough for me. Mine go to 13.

The two tracks from “What Can I Say” (28, 33) and the one from “Where Is A Woman To Go” (34) seem to be remixes. 5) CD album is available from the Gail Davies online shop at www.gaildavies.com/purchase_the_songwriter_sessions.htm.
