That confused me. Had some banging guitar bits but was also really shit in some parts.
Didn’t really connect with the lyrics - maybe need to live in the south USA and drive a truck. Some nice music though
Great album. Great acoustic songs, no misses though only a few memorable songs high 4.5
Smooth like a sweet baby jesus... euh.. james
Pretty relaxing. I like the sound of this album.
Очень скучно
Zu viel Blues. Zu viel Jesus. Zu viele Babes. Zu viel Babyface. Zu viel Langeweile. Er ist schon lange dabei und meistens selbst auf seinen Covern abgebildet. Hat im Alter richtig Charakter bekommen. Auch meine Cowboynatur konnte ihm nicht helfen. Nicht nochmal hören!
Lekkere blues rock - Steamroller is een favoriet. Zang in dat nummer vind ik niet heel bijzonder. In country road komt de zang beter uit de verf, maar is de compositie en gebruikte instrumenten weer meer classic rock. Blossom is dan meer een "simon and garfunkel" vibe. Leuke muzikale afwisseling op het album dus. Niet heel verassend of spannend verder, maar zit wel goed in elkaar.
More looks on here than I knew him for. The blues was particularly good
Soothing. The man must have been high when he wrote this album.
A pleasant listen but nothing more
Calming jams.
not bad, but not really my cup of tea. Not really the biggest James Taylor fan.
this sounds like a nice cosy evening with raining outside and just chilling inside
I liked the music that was playing!
Spotify. Not for me. Fire and Rain is good.
Can't deny the James Taylor's talent. And the album is good, really good. However, it is boring.
There's some seriously saccharine stuff here, but when he's on, he's on. Best track: Fire and Rain
I've owned this album since I was an early teen and don't remember ever listening to it all the way through. I was obsessed with "Sweet Baby James" and "Fire and Rain" as a young kid, think the latter is one of my earliest memories of songs I've heard on the radio. The record is an impressive blend of country, folk, and blues. Bummer I've waited this long to listen all the way through. Favorite tracks: "Fire and Rain", "Steamroller Blues", "Country Road"
Fire and Rain is a highlight I guess. Maybe, like others suggest, it's a grower. Not over the course of its runtime. Frankly boring.
1970. Key Songs: Sweet Baby James, Fire and Rain
most of this is just very comfy normal folk pop but there are a couple songs that just burst into loud brassy jazz pop partway through and its always a complete suprise. fuckin wild. good album
After taking a bite of the apple and acquiring the taste, James Taylor was left adrift amidst the ever growing tide of solo artists looking to break out. All that was needed was a whirlwind trip back home and an aligning sensibility with the universe to truly grasp things. Sweet Baby James is an unassuming yet major triumph in that regard, for James Taylor now had all the tools that was needed to put himself together into a palatable package to sell to the masses; it doesn't hurt that the songs are timeless as well. Favorites: Sweet Baby James, Lo and Behold, Steamroller Blues, Country Road, Fire and Rain, Anywhere Like Heaven, Suite for 20 G.
Very nice. Exactly one of my styles. really liked the sweet songs
smooth, classic
chill and refreshing, nothing stuck tho but definitely will listen again
Skön röst men det är ärligt talat bara under de sista 2 minuterna av albumet som det händer något spännande.
