"July, You're A Woman" first appeared on the John Stewart & Buffy Ford album "Signals Through The Glass", released in 1968 on the Capitol label. "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel was released as a single the following year on the Columbia label, and then included on the Columbia LP "Bridge Over Troubled Waters." John Stewart had previously described much of "Signals Through The Glass" as being largely a concept album, many of the songs being derived from the paintings of Andrew Wyeth and Jamie Wyeth. For instance, the song "Nebraska Widow" is Stewart's interpretation of Andrew Wyeth's painting "Christina's World,"while the song "Draft Age" is based upon Jamie Wyeth's similarly entitled painting. And I have no idea what painting (if any!) inspired "July, You're A Woman."
