Lyle Lovett wrote "Here I Am" on his own for Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, his third album, which arrived in 1989 with more of a big-band feel in its bones than anything he'd made before.
The credits show how wide he was casting the net. Paul Franklin plays steel guitar, Ray Herndon electric, Matt Rollings keyboards, Leland Sklar bass and Paul Leim drums, while Steve Marsh and Andy Laster bring the saxophones (Laster on baritone), John Hagen adds cello, Mark O'Connor strings, and Francine Reed sings behind Lovett, who also plays guitar. Steel guitar rubbing shoulders with a baritone sax and a cello: that's the whole Lovett proposition in one track. He produced it with Tony Brown and Billy Williams, and Chuck Ainlay recorded and mixed it.
