Special shout out to my musical team that helped me record "I Am Saved" -
I tracked acoustic rhythm guitar, vocals and hillbilly snare at 522 Studio with engineers Jesse Lavigne and Adam Bokesch, and had Mike Waldron play acoustic licks and resonator.
Later we brought in Rod Lewis on bass and Tim Grogan on drums.
Bill Warner did the mix and Benny Quinn mastered and created the radio edit. Producer is yours truly.
Thanks also to Chip Hardy my producer spirit animal and cowriter Pete Garfinkel.
The song is published by Hillbilly Culture LLC (Hillbilly Gold (ASCAP) & Hillbilly Royalty (ASCAP) administered with loving care by Peter Roselli at Bluewater Music Services Corp.
