Liner Notes
I am a woman in love...
In love with all aspects of my life,
at this time, in my life.
The record battle has been long and sometimes hard, but with the help of some very talented and beautiful people, this album is a truer expression of the me only a few people know.
Benard Ighner, my producer, was the spiritual and actual guiding force behind all of us involved in the experience.
Byron Olson, Dale Oehler and Benard spun arrangements with love.
The lines of communication were always open which made me relax and ease down inside each song.
STREET WALKING WOMAN...Is almost a documentary of some of the scenes I've lived through as a woman out there in show business unescorted and unprotected. This, causing me to develop a surface shell of hardness.
Crying out for that old love in YOU BEEN AWAY TOO LONG...Finding that new good love in YOU and since YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO SPEAK IN LOVE, I FEEL LIKE MAKING LOVE...Even though we were careless in our relationship and have now gone our separate ways, LOVING YOU WAS LIKE A PARTY.
All of these emotional changes caused me to be open my brother's dues, Brother DAVY... I offer a prayer which confirms my faith in the happy ending and walk with nature into the arms of a lasting love...MON CHERIE.
I'll leave it to your ears to be the judge of...Who this bitch is anyway. Lovingly,
