Country Gazette - Don’t Give Up Your Day Job
United Artists UA-LA090-F (1973) - US LP

Side One

1 - Huckleberry Hornpipe
2 - The Fallen Eagle
3 - I Don’t Believe You Met My Baby
4 - Deputy Dalton
5 - Teach Your Children*
6 - My Oklahoma

Side Two

7 - Down The Road
8 - Winterwood*
9 - Honky Cat*
10 - Snowball
11 - Lonesome Blues
12 - Singin’ All Day & Dinner On The Ground

Notes: 1) Album credits attribute track 6 (“My Oklahoma”) to one C. Young while in fact the song appears to have been written by Terrye Newkirk. A previous version of this song was recorded for Warner Bros in 1971 by Ms. Newkirk’s husband, singer-songwriter Steve Young. A remixed version of said version was later included by Young in his semi-anthology “Seven Bridges Road”, released in 1981 on Rounder Records 3058. Songwriting credits on the latter album indicate Ms. Newkirk as the writer of the song (see images at the bottom). Whether this was indicated also in the 1971 Warner Bros. release is unbeknownst to me. 2) According to www.secondhandsongs.com/work/9066, track 3 was not written by D. (Don) Warden but by Autry Inman instead. 3) Album comes with biographical liner notes by Jim Bickhart. Please refer to original artwork for these. 4) In the relative selections, Lee is always credited as playing electric bass alongside acoustic bass-player Roger Bush.

1) “Silver Meteor” is an anthological record album originally released on Sierra Records in 1980, including both previously un-issued and hard-to-find material in the area of early progressive country. Its primary importance lies in the presence of four tracks from guitar virtuoso Clarence White’s first - and never released - solo album. These four tracks were recorded on June 28 and 29, 1973, just two weeks before White got killed by a drunken driver in Palmdale, California, on July 15, 1973. The line-up of Clarence White’s recording group includes members of Country Gazette (minus Kenny Wertz), plus drummer Ed Greene, Ry Cooder on slide guitar (on track 4), Herb Pedersen on guitar and vocals, and Clarence’s brother Roland White on mandolin. Lee plays electric bass on all the four tracks alongside Steve Bush on acoustic bass. 2) “Silver Meteor” got finally reissued on CD in 2010, with 14 added bonus tracks. Two of these are previously unreleased recordings by Country Gazette (22, 23) and one is a cover of the Gram Parsons song “One Hundred Years From Now” performed by an undisclosed group of musicians called The Mystery Band (26). 3) In a list of the 50 greatest ‘lost’ albums compiled in May 2010 by British magazine Uncut, “Silver Meteor” got voted 11th best lost album ever. The poll commentary from Uncut is reproduced on the CD reissue back inlay. 4) Lee is also the bass player on the two Casey Kelly tracks that follow. In the Seventies, Kelly released a couple of albums on Elektra, “Casey Kelly” (Elektra EKS-75040, 1972), produced by Richard Sanford Orshoff, and “For Sale” (Elektra EKS-75072, 1973), produced by Sanford Orshoff and Robert Putnam. Lee is the only bass player on the first album, and plays bass on about half of the songs on the second. 5) CD album reissue comes with a fold-out inlay including original introduction and liner notes by William H. Koon, plus further annotations on the bonus tracks. Please refer to original inlay for these. 6) Above picture and following credits were taken from the CD album reissue. 7) Given the discursive fashion of the liner notes, line-ups and musician/songwriter credits therein presented are sometimes non-exhaustive. Since some of these albums are traceable through the web, it was possible to integrate a few missing catalog numbers and/or songwriters from photographic sources. No other integration has been made in the following write-up. 8) One track from Clarence White’s solo album sessions, “Alabama Jubilee”, got included also in the anthological Clarence White collection “Flatpick” (2006) released on Sierra CD 1024. The anthology got later reissued as an extended 2-CD collector’s edition on Sierra SZCD 6026 (see picture at the bottom). 9) “Silver Meteor” and “Flatpick” are available from the Sierra Records online shop at sierrarecords.goestores.com . 10) Again, my heartfelt thanks for help go to John Delgatto.

13 - Rest Your Love On Me - with Andy Gibb

Notes: 1) Above picture and following credits were taken from the 2010 Japan HMCD reissue. 2) Japan reissue does not come with musician credits for the two bonus tracks. 3) According to web sources there exists a further Japan HMCD reissue with same bonus tracks but coming in a paper sleeve package on Universal UICY-94714. Please note that the Japan translation insert coming with this non-paper sleeve release indicates a ‘papersleeve reissue staff’. This makes it safe to assume that the only difference between the two remastered Japan reissues in question is indeed the packaging. 4) Only remixing studio specified is for track 5, thus all other studios are being indicated simply as ‘studios’. 5) Only engineer indicated for track 5 is Armin Steiner. Mr. Steiner is also one of the other recording engineers credited for the rest of the tracks.

“When Billy Blake asked Lazarus how come he lay down on his left side and his right side so long and eat dung, he (Lazarus) said, “The desire to raise man’s perception to the infinite,” or some such. // Like Joh Prine says, the Lord works in mysterious ways. // I say thanks to David Kent, and Marty for the mood and the mix, and to Mike, Sammy, Jerry, Lee, Gary, Terry, Billy, Sherlie, Rita, Clydie, Byron, Allen, Jack for the music, and to Teddy Jack Eddie and the mayor for helping me learn to fall in slow motion and make my own salad. // Yours in sport, Casi Demento”.

Notes: 1) “Return Of The Grievous Angel: A Tribute To Gram Parsons” is a CD album tribute to American singer-songwriter and musician Gram Parsons. All of the tracks in this collection are newly recorded versions of songs written or co-written by Parsons himself. 2) Images and following credits were taken from the UK CD release on Almo Sounds ALMCD66. 3) Any missing tech credit in the following notes is due to lack thereof in original CD album credits. 4) CD album comes with biographical liner notes by journalist Bud Scoppa. Please refer to original CD booklet for these. 5) A portion of the proceeds from this CD originally went to benefit the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation’s “Campaign for a Landmine Free World”. Please do read the relative liner notes at the bottom of this post but bear in mind that the website address for the Vietnam Veterans of America Organisation has in the meantime changed to: www.vva.org . In no way it is possible to guarantee that the street address and/or phone numbers associated with the original campaign have not since changed as well. Thus, please refer strictly to the above new website address for any info you might want to collect about charitable donations either connected to this project or presently under way at VVA.
