Jamie Walters: RELEASE ME
from "Jamie Walters," Atlantic, 1994
- The albums's producer Steve Tyrell in a 1996 interview: One of the big thrills for me song-wise happened with Jamie's album. The one outside song he wanted to do was Graham Parker's "Release Me." I listened to it and said "I bet when Graham Parker wrote that song he was thinking about Dr. John," who is one of my oldest buddies. So I called up Dr. John and told him about the song and that I thought it was about him and that I would love him to come sing on it. So he came and did these incredible background vocals and we were playing it down in the studio for some press people and one of them said "Isn't that a Graham Parker song?" Turns out this guy used to work for Graham so he sent him a copy and Graham sent me back a note saying how much he dug it, which is a high compliment from Graham Parker. And he told me how he had always envisioned that song with Dr. John. I framed the note and gave it to Jamie for Christmas.
