Description

The lyrical beauty and accessibility of James Taylor's music was never more apparent than on this poignant 1970 LP, which played ad infinitum on many a turntable and landed him a Time magazine cover. No. 103 of Rolling Stone's "500 greatest albums," Sweet Baby James goes down like a single-malt scotch, from the title-track lullaby to "Sunny Skies," "Blossom," "Country Road," "Fire and Rain," "Anywhere Like Heaven," and "Steamroller." "Taylor's best single album."—MusicHound Rock "Taylor's second album … secured his place as the patriarch of the 1970s singer-songwriter scene…. [and] set a new standard for confession in pop lyrics on 'Fire and Rain.' But it is the quiet strength in his voice, framed by the skeletal grace of Peter Asher's production, that still makes this album a model of folk-pop healing music."—Rolling Stone
