The Lady I Am

The song *The Lady I Am* by Mary MacGregor, with a duration of 4:15, is from her debut album, *Torn Between Two Lovers*. This work, released in December of 1976, featured production and co-writing by Peter Yarrow. The album itself reached number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart. Three singles were extracted from this record, achieving appearances on both the Country charts and the Hot 100.

Criticism at the time offered different perspectives. Robert Christgau, in his Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies from 1981, gave it a "C" rating, noting that he saw Peter Yarrow achieving commercial success by finding an alternative to Olivia Newton, albeit with a more explicit attitude. For his part, Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times described it differently.
