Interesting Steve but how sure are you of that as Wayne's album recording notes at:-
http://www.lightfoot.ca/albrecno.htm
declare that ODR was recorded in Toronto with bluegrass backing by the Good Brothers (memorably seen by some of us in at Hamiltom in November 2004)
the same notes do reveal that
"BACK HERE ON EARTH was recorded: Nashville, TN at Owen Bradley's Barn in September 1968
Released: November 1968"
Doubly interesting to me because Buddy Holly's first studio recordings were also recorded in that barn
"four songs produced by Owen Bradley at Bradley's Barn Studio on 26 January 1956"
see:-

and:-

"Holly did three sessions in Nashville during 1956 (January, July and November"
"The first two sessions had Sonny Curtis playing leadguitar and Grady Martin on rhythm"
Grady Martin was also on hand for the rather later (1962) Nashville "Early Lightfoot" album
