Got No Shadow is an album by Mary Lou Lord, released in early 1998.

"His Lamest Flame" is a reference to the Elvis Presley song "(Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame".

The song "She Had You" was a hit in the Philippines, it was played in a FM radio NU107 midnight count down.

The song "Lights Are Changing" is a cover song, the original done by British band Bevis Frond, appearing on their 1988 album, Triptych.

The song "Some Jingle Jangle Morning" is a re-recording of the same song which appeared on Mary Lou Lord's debut 7" ep for Kill Rock Stars in 1993. The song is said to be about Kurt Cobain [1], as Mary Lou was briefly involved with Kurt in the early 1990s at the beginning of Nirvana's rise to fame. [2] [3]

The song "Shake Sugaree" is a cover of an old folk and blues song written by Elizabeth Cotten.
