I Am the Man is the second studio album by American folk singer-songwriter Simone White. It was released on June 4, 2007 on Honest Jon's Records. The album cover depicts White's mother lying next to a leopard on a bed.
It was recorded at the Nashville studio of producer Mark Nevers, who is known for his work with Lambchop. White has stated that the song "Great Imperialist State" is about “the disconnect between the things we consume and where they come from”, and that "Mary Jane" is about her grandmother.
I Am the Man received mixed reviews from critics. Steve Hands awarded it only two stars out of five and concluded that it was "one slow spiral descent into soporific surrender." Edd Hurt and Robert Christgau both highlighted "Mary Jane" as among the best songs on the album.
All songs written by Simone White except where noted.
