I can't believe it was 1970 when Sweet Baby James was released. The songs are so familiar, as if it were yesterday.

When this song / album came out by JT,it was a refreshing break from the music of that day.I felt it brought a new look or feel at folk / ballad type of music.
What with CCR,Black Sabbath,lenord Skinner,CSNY,Outlaws,Led Zepplin,etc.etc. dominating the airwaves.
(not that I disliked that music)
I think JT is the longest-lived musician from the Beatles' Apple Records.
He's one of my favorite performers, particularly when he tours without his backing singers.
Well said - and this album is like family member around here.
Morpfy,
He has such a wonderful voice and it creates a mood so unlike the rock groups you mentioned. He is a sit down and listen to sort of singer.
Sprite,
I didn't know that!
I haven't seen him in concert, but I'd love to.
Thanks, Deborah
I'd have to say the same!
Its mood and imagery ('sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground') captures exquisitively the tragedy of the Icaruses we saw plummet-- back then when we were all trying to fly over the walls of heaven.
Jim,
Your imagery captures just as well. Icarus is a perfect allusion.
