Intellectual Property for a musical performance?

Question by PKing: Intellectual Property for a musical performance?
I was a member of a musical group which I recorded a CD with but have since left. I’m seeking compensation for my performance on the CD but I never signed a contract. Is my performance considered intellectual property and hence give me part ownership of the copyrighted CD?
I’m listed on the credits of the CD as Drums/Percussion but not as a co-writer.
