Footprint (album)
''Footprint'' is the second solo album by American musician Gary Wright, released in 1971 on A&M Records. It contains "Stand for Our Rights", an anthem-like song calling for social unity that was issued as a single in advance of the album. Wright recorded the majority of ''Footprint'' in London with a large cast of musicians – including George Harrison, Hugh McCracken, Alan White, Klaus Voormann, Jim Gordon, Jim Keltner and Bobby Keys – many of whom, like Wright, had played on Harrison's ''All Things Must Pass'' triple album in 1970. Harrison's contributions included an uncredited role as producer, and serve as an example of his support for Wright during the early stages of the latter's solo career. The ballad "Love to Survive" is one of three tracks that feature an orchestral arrangement by John Barham.
To promote ''Footprint'' in America, Wright performed the song "Two Faced Man" on ''The Dick Cavett Show'', backed by his short-lived band Wonderwheel, with Harrison as guest guitarist. Although it received favorable reviews from some music critics, the album failed to chart in the US or Britain. After recording and touring with Wonderwheel through 1972, Wright rejoined his former band Spooky Tooth, before returning as a solo artist with his breakthrough album, ''The Dream Weaver'' (1975).
''Footprint'' was issued on CD in 2005, coupled on a two-disc set with Wright's debut, ''Extraction'' (1970). "Stand for Our Rights" and "Two Faced Man" also appeared on the 1998 compilation ''Best of Gary Wright: The Dream Weaver''. The song "Give Me the Good Earth" was covered by Manfred Mann's Earth Band and provided the title for their 1974 album ''The Good Earth''.
