Are You Glad to Be in America? is an album by American guitarist James Blood Ulmer recorded in 1980 and originally released on the Rough Trade label in the UK in 1980, mixed by Ulmer, Geoff Travis, Roger Trilling, and Mayo Thompson credited with the mix. A remixed version, credited to Ulmer and Bob Blank, with a different running order and new cover art, was released by the Artists House label in the US in 1981. The album was released on CD with a new third mix by Joe Ferla, but the original
Who Are You which appeared on Pete Townshend's 1980 solo album "Empty Glass". Most notably, the line, "Killing each other, then we jump off the ledge" was changed to "Killing each other by driving a wedge" for the latest version. The album was a commercial success, going 2× platinum in the US and Canada, gold in UK, and peaking at number 2 on the "Billboard" Pop Albums chart. The soundtrack to "Grease" prevented "Who Are You" from achieving number 1 status in the US. The success of "Who Are You" generated excitement at the prospect of a new Who tour for the album.
