"Stratford On Guy" is from Exile in Guyville, the debut album Liz Phair put out on Matador on June 22, 1993. Phair wrote it, sings it and plays the guitar; Brad Wood drums on it, engineered it and produced it with her, with Casey Rice assisting behind the board. The album was cut at Idful Music Corporation in Chicago across 1992 and 1993.
The voice behind it had first reached people through cassettes. In the summer of 1991 Phair was writing and recording songs on tape and passing them around Chicago under the name Girly-Sound, with the early fans copying them on to others. Guyville was her first proper studio album, and this is Phair and Wood working it out between the two of them.
