Notes: 1) Above image and following credits were taken from a Mexico release with 3 bonus tracks (tracks 13, 14, 15). According to web sources, this CD album was originally released in the US with only the first 12 tracks. Two different subsequent non-US releases added the Spanglish radio edit of “Maria” as a bonus track, sometimes at the beginning of the song selection, sometimes at the end. 2) According to web sources, in some of the above editions - US release included - CD album comes with alternate cover art and photography. The alternate picture is a David La Chapelle image which is anyhow included in this edition’s inner booklet. 3) In the following credits, those music/tech terms which were originally written in Spanish have been translated into English. 4) Album does not come with track-by-track musician credits. 5) Please check back for inclusion of more data and possibly the numerous alternate versions of this CD album’s singles.

“K.C., Benny, Rob, who capture my feelings, recorded them and made them sound incredible for their wit and wisdom, but also for those times of happiness and laughter in moments of desperation. // Ricardo y Angelo, por escucharme, entenderme y buscar solución a mi laberinto. // Wendy Riche, for understanding, believing and supporting me in important decisions in my life. // A Jose Angel Buesa y su poesía apasionante. // Ednita Nazario, por la motivación que nos transmite a los jóvenes cantantes puertoriqueños. // Alejandro Sanz, gracias por tu apoyo. // Luis Gomez Escolar, gracias por escucharme. // Franco de Vita, que musa tienes!! // Mami, por tu fuerza y valor. Por tus enseñanzas que hoy día me hacen ser quien soy. TE AMO. // Papi, por estar conmigo, por entender mi vida y amarme. TE ADORO. // Jose Luis, alma guerrera que me enseñó el significado de la palabra paciencia, hermano mío, te necesito aquí. D.T.B. // Nicky Parra, por siempre cuidarme en esta batalla. Gracias. // Marta, con respeto te añoré. // Keith Yensen & B.W. Thank you for trying to feel my soul. I’M ALIVE. // A la bella America de Buenos Aires a Santiago de Lima a México de L.A. a N.Y. Gracias por haberme hecho reir, llorar, amar y vibrar. // A Dios por darme la serenidad de aceptar las cosas que no puedo cambiar y el coraje para cambiar las que sí puedo… // Lilly Melgar y su buena fe. // Zonia estoy acostumbrado a ti. Te quiero cerca.”.

“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.
