Great find, Dean! OK,OK, now it makes sense! "John Cale" is J.J. Cale!! Not the other "John Cale." Cale & Leon Russell (co-producer) were Okies.

I knew it meant J.J., even as I faithfully transcribed John. What's that VU guy doing here?

The Jesse Ed Davis song "Red Dirt Boogie, Brother" opens with "I ain't no Beatle, ain't no Rolling Stone" and was released on his album Ululu in 1972, first track, side A

I guess a lot of folks back then wanted to make it very clear that they were NOT a Beatle or a Stone!

And of course Jesse was close with Leon and the Tulsa mafia

Is Tiny real big?

To tell the truth, a lot of folks back then weren't a Beatle or a Stone. But I remain curious about the Parsons connection. Was he coming up with titles and other song ideas that others ran with?

And Dwight Twilley, Tulsa-born. Per Wikipedia, "Twilley and Phil Seymour met in Tulsa in 1967 at a theater where they had gone to see The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night, and soon began writing songs and recording together."

The band...
Sonny Rollins (tenorsax), Jim Hall (guitar), Bob Cranshaw (bass), and Ben Riley (drums).

Just love Jim Hall on this album (and in general).

I remember when Nyro released Nested, because I was working in a record store at the time, and we opened it right away to give it a spin.
