“Chi is pronounced, “shy.””.

Official 1972 Biography from Columbia Records

“Chi Coltrane’s involvement with music goes back much further than would make for interesting biographical material, so let us essentially begin at the beginning of 1971. The only facts you might be interested in from her past are that she was born 23 years ago in Racine, Wisconsin, and is a completely self-taught musician. Also, that Chi (pronounced “shy”) Coltrane is her real name. // At the beginning of the year 1971, Chi had her own rock group called “Chicago Coltrane”. They had been together for a couple of years when she came to the decision that she could best express herself artistically performing as a single. She turned the group over to one of the musicians and set out on her own. The rest of her story happened so fast that when she achieves stardom, as certain she will, it is going to appear like one of those overnight success stories. In reality, it has taken her her entire lifetime. Chi began appearing around Chicago as a solo performer and in a matter of a couple of months, had developed an amazing following. // more… // At that time, she was performing other peoples’ material, (i. e. Elton John, Beatles, John Fogerty, etc.) but re-arranging them so that they sounded as if they were written for her. This led to her trying her hand at writing her own material. The first song she wrote was, “It’s Really Come To This” which was copyrighted on April 29, 1971. In the short space of nine months, she wrote some twenty songs, eleven of which are represented on her first Columbia album. As you will hear when you listen to this album, Chi Coltrane is a special talent. She possesses an enormous writing talent, a completely distinctive vocal style, and is an excellent pianist to boot.”.

Chi Coltrane

Barbara Keith

Barbara Keith - Barbara Keith
Reprise MS 2087 (1972) - US LP

Side One

1 - All Along The Watchtower*
2 - Rolling Water*
3 - The Bramble And The Rose
4 - Burn The Midnight Oil No More*
5 - Free The People*

Side Two

6 - Detroit Or Buffalo*
7 - The Road I Took To You*
8 - Shining All Along*
9 - Rainy Nights Are All The Same*
10 - A Stone’s Throw Away

Notes: 1) Album was reissued in 2004 as CD on Water Records water 127. 2) Above picture and following credits were taken from the 2004 CD reissue. 3) 2004 CD reissue comes with additional artwork in the form of pictures and memorabilia, but no credits for original artwork, recording locations nor original master engineering are indicated. Whether these credits were included in original LP release is unbeknownst to me. 4) 2004 CD reissue includes both a complete quoting and a picture reprint of the biographical promo wrap/insert that came with original Reprise LP. This inclusion is indicated as “Notes taken from the original 1971 LP promo insert.”. However, after a bit of web research about Reprise catalog numeration, it does appear that original LP was released not in 1971 but in 1972. 5) Although not indicated as such, it does seem that on track 9 Lee plays upright bass. 6) On track 2, the line-up playing with Ms. Keith - who is on vocals and acoustic guitar - is indeed The Section.

US LP catalog #: the web

Singles

This and the next two paragraphs are all about unverified data so please take it with the benefit of doubt and a pinch of salt. According to web sources, the singles released out of Barbara Keith’s second LP were mainly “Free The People” and “All Along The Watchtower”. Following info were sometimes supported by photographic evidence (for what it is worth these days, but still more valid than not when it comes to sellers).

“Free The People” was announced as a single release on Billboard magazine on January 13, 1973 (see here). B-side and a ‘valid’ catalog # are undisclosed, but it might be the same release coming with “Rainy Nights Are All The Same” as b-side that surfaced on some online shops and was suddenly no longer available as soon as further inquiries about it were made. I do not know if the latter was for real or just some kind of hoax, nor what type of mixes/edits (if ever) we are talking about.

“All Along The Watchtower” was apparently released for the US market in 1973 on Reprise with “The Bramble And The Rose” as a b-side, and in the same year as a stereo/mono-mixes promo with “Watchtower” on both sides. I found only one catalog # for both releases and no pictorial data, so this also is vaguely suspicious. What seems to be more certain is the existence of a 1973 French release on Reprise with “Watchtower” as a-side and “Free The People” as b-side. There are numerous different pictures of this French release on the web. Still, no indication about whether content might or not be inclusive of edit versions.

Back to ‘things-as-they-are’ now (yes, it’s that factual) with the following single on A&M. It is the one Barbara Keith single in my possession, and it comes with no credits except for producer and singer-songwriter. Content was not taken from Ms. Keith’s LP on Reprise but it has one composition in common with that release, and the producer is the same (Larry Marks). Please read more about it below.

Barbara Keith
Free The People/The Rainmaker
A&M 1191 (1970) - US 7” vinyl promo single

a-side

1 - Free The People

b-side

2 - The Rainmaker

Notes: 1) This is a promo single by Barbara Keith released in 1970. Alternate catalog #s are 1976 for the a-side and 1977 for the b-side. 2) This version of “Free The People” is not the one included in Ms. Keith’s eponymous Reprise LP (see above). 3) “The Rainmaker” is a composition that was not included in either of Ms. Keith’s two solo albums. 4) Judging from other A&M singles catalog #s, and from the relative ad on Billboard magazine (see point 9), record should be datable to September, 1970. 5) Lacquer #s are 82099 and 82099-X. 6) Single was produced by Larry Marks, apparently (my inference) in between Ms. Keith’s first solo LP on Verve Forecast, produced by Peter Asher in 1969, and her subsequent solo release on Reprise, produced by Mr. Marks himself (see above). While no credits are available for the players on either side, I thought inclusion would be meaningful on account of production continuity with the album Lee plays bass on. 7) Both tracks are mono mixes. 8) No bass player is featured on b-side. 9) The ad repro at the bottom of post was taken from the “Barbara Keith” Reprise album CD reissue on Water Records. From a web research through past issues of Billboard magazine it appears that its caption has been altered so as not to show label and catalog # of release. As you can see from the original ad here, the single it refers to is indeed the one on A&M 1191 (thus, not the album version). The date for this issue of Billboard magazine is 26 September, 1970.

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.
