“Thanks to Allan Pepper”.

“Before I worked up the courage to write them, I learned songs by all the songwriters I admired (I still do). Having performed a few “covers” in every show I’ve ever done, I’m often asked to include some on my records, so I decided to do an album’s worth. // Many great songwriters are missing here, especially women writers, because I find it so much harder to lend something new to renditions of the women’s work that influenced me. Also, because nearly all of these songs were written by men, I have taken the liberty of making minor lyric changes where I felt they were helpful. // Some of these songs you will know and some you won’t. Some were gifts to me from people who were already on to something. Some were written by friends, and some were my own discoveries. // A few of the songs that went over in front of live audiences never worked out in the studio, so they were recorded at live shows. // - S.C., 1994 // Los Angeles”.

“Thanks to: // Steuart Smith, Ron Fierstein, Steve Addabbo, Simon Tassano, Kenny and Amy White, Danny Ferrington, Julie Last, Kay Colvin, Evie Preston, Chapin, Stokes Howell, Jules Shear, David and Jan Crosby, Graham Nash, Joel Peresman, John Giddings, Mark Greenhouse, Nancy Boykiss and Phil Kaye at Sony Studios LA, Stewart Lerman, Don Dworkin at D’addario strings, and Jim Kaufman at Sunrise. As always, to Jeremy, Melissa and Tommy at AGF, and to Stella and Sara Cole.”.

“Special Thanks to: // all the players, the writers, and to everyone at Columbia, especially Don Ienner, David Kahne, Kip Krones, Chuck Plotkin, Leah Reid, and the Jerry’s - Lembo and Blair”.

“To write: // Shawn Colvin // c/o AGF Entertainment Ltd. // p.o. Box 2036 // Old Chelsea Station // New York, NY 10113”.

“Hi, thanks for buying this album. I hope you receive large amounts of pleasure when you press play on the thingamajig that makes the sound come out of the speakers. 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. I would also like to thank the stellar cast of musicians who gave their soul to the analog tape: Jim Keltner, Dean Parks, Bob Glaub, Steven Soles, Leland Sklar, Benmont Tench, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones horn section (Dennis Brockenborough, Tim Burton and Kevin Lenear), David Kemper, my dear friend and songwriting pal Jewel Kilcher, Jimmie Haskell, Gregory Page, Denny Fongheiser, Van Dyke Parks, the always ready Jerry Scheff, John Wittenberg, Joy Lyle, Xiao N He, Joel Derouin and Steve Richards. A shot of love must also go out to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles for all the greasy food that kept us lubed. A big shout goes out to the fine folks at Ocean Way especially Clarice and Ya Yoi. 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”.

“Special thanks to: Ma n Pa Poltz - Thanks for making me stick with those geetar lessons, my sister Kath, my nephew and niece Shea and Kayla, and my Uncle Louie for taking me to all the Planet of the Apes movies. I would like to thank Danny Goldberg for dragging my sorry ass off the road and getting me into the studio; and David Leach for his hours of patience in working with me during battling practice. 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. A special thanks to all my musical friends back home in San Diego: John “Parchney” Castro, Java Joe Flamini, Karla Peterson, George Varga, David Branfman, Esq., Tommy and Marla, Tom Plein for loaning me cash for my first PA, Mike Halloran for playing my shit on the radio way back when I was on 8-track, Drunk Ted and Flipside Mag, Wendy’s open mike at Java Joe’s especially Wendy and his cute berets, and Dick’s Automotive. // Otherwordly thanks to: Hap Mansfield and everyone at Cake Magazine, Anastasia Davies, Herb Cohen, Martin Cohen, Evan Cohen, Jane Ayer, Donna Gast for lipstick tips, Jack Duffey, Katherine Duffey, Carol Ellis, Nancy Levin and Michelle St. Claire, Danny Ferrington, Kevin Moran, the wonderful author of the Niceness Manifesto Mr. Joe Daly, Brad and Bruce at Absolute Artists, and T.J. & everyone at Taylor Guitars.

Notes: 1) According to web sources, this CD album was released at least in four different content configurations the world over, plus one more edition for the iTunes market. We will go back to the specific releases in detail once I get hold of those. So far, it will suffice to list the bonus tracks that were included by country of pressing, bearing in mind that some of this info could not be verified:

US bonus track: “Little Wonders - radio version”.
Germany bonus tracks: “Years From Now”, “Remembered Well”.
Japan bonus tracks (verified): “Overrun”, “Her Diamonds - video”.
ITunes bonus tracks (verified): “Sleep Till The War Is Over”, “Believe”.

My thanks to Donnavox, who is a Rob Thomas forum member at http://boards.atlanticrecords.com/artists/robthomas/forums. According to her, the iTunes tracks come without liner notes, just like “Overrun” in its CD release as b-side for the “Her Diamonds” single. Check back for updates. 2) Above picture and following credits were taken from the made in Malaysia EU release on Emblem/Atlantic 756 7896812L (2009).

This should be true also of track 5, but please check back for confirmation once the Donovan post is published. 4) On track 17, Lee shares bass-player credits with David Hungate. 5) CD Album comes with a 60-page booklet including a biographical essay by Hans Theessink with interviews to Derroll Adams and some of the other players, liner notes by Theessink and Arlo Guthrie and lyrics.

Notes: 1) This is a promo single by Kim Carnes released in 1975. Alternate catalog #s are 12012-S for the stereo mix and 12012 for the mono mix. 2) Song was taken from the album “Kim Carnes” (see entry above). Please refer to that album’s entry for more detailed musician credits (remember however that these were not available in track-by-track format). 3) The version of “Bad Seed” on this single release has been edited down to 3:26 minutes from the original 4:30 minutes. Parts edited out start from the “Oh darlin’, come on and take my love” verse at the end of second chorus, through to the end of the first “Come on and take my love” verse at the closing of third chorus included. In between, the “damn that ol’ dream” bridge has been done away with as well. A further difference between the two versions lies in the “Honey you’re a bad seed” ad-lib of the coda, which is repeated fully six times on the single edit version and eight times on the LP version before total fade-out.
