Album Notes
Personnel: James Taylor (vocals, guitar); Danny Kortchmar (guitar); Red Rhodes (steel guitar); Chris Darrow (fiddle); Jack Bielan (brass); Carole King (piano); Randy Meisner, John London, Bob West (bass instrument); Russ Kunkel (drums).Though James Taylor's self-titled debut introduced his mellow melodicism and affecting songcraft, SWEET BABY JAMES was the album that rocketed him to national recognition. With SWEET BABY JAMES, Taylor abandoned the slightly psychedelic structural ambition of his first record (the first side was composed as a suite), and settled fully into the folk and country styles to which he is best suited. The top ten hit "Fire and Rain," for instance, a deeply personal story-song based on the artist's experiences in mental hospitals and the suicide of a friend, is built around Taylor's gentle, understated voice, acoustic guitar, cello, piano, and drums.The plaintive, melancholic air of "Fire and Rain" resonated with millions of listeners, as did the rest of the album. Taylor's lyrics, which address personal identity, religion, and relationships lost and struggling, are highly confessional, yet associative and lyrical enough to reflect the lives of listeners. At times, he marries the plight of the sensitive soul to the myth of the cowboy in songs like the title track, a kind of campfire lullaby, or to country traditions, as in "Country Road." In all, these elements combine to make SWEET BABY JAMES, arguably, Taylor's definitive statement, and one of the most influential albums in the singer-songwriter genre.

) This is the album that made James Taylor a star and the cover that made him a heartthrob. After 35 years, the slbum still stands as a folk standard. Many, young and not so, will know the words to You've Got a Friend and Sweet Baby James. Steamroller is still fun and sexy. Having Sweet Baby James on CD is not as good as getting the original vinyl when one was 13, but at this point it is like having an old friend in town for a visit.

) James Taylor is a sit back, relax and let him take the days tension out kind of singer. Sorta blue and not quite rock but just plain good. This is in my opinion his best album but there are many more to fight over.

I ordered the CD because I remember really liking James Taylor when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s and I still do like him!
It's a great CD.
