Session notes

All three of the released masters used vocal harmony that probably consisted of all or part of the following: June Carter Cash, James Cobb, Paul Davis, Chips Moman, Marty Stuart, Toni Wine and Bobby Wood. Both LOVE ME LIKE YOU USED TO and THEY'RE ALL THE SAME include strings on the released versions but no mention of them is made in any session information. No horns were mentioned either but THEY'RE ALL THE SAME does use them so Hale and Jackson have been added to this session. The strings and horns were probably added at an overdub session.
