For the follow up to his classic Sweet Baby James, which rivals Tapestry's place in the boomer canon, archetypal sensitive singer-songwriter Taylor wisely elected not to stray too far from the approach that had worked so well on his previous album. One of the most memorable tunes here, "Hey Mister That's Me Up On The Jukebox" is one of the more effective songs to bemoan the plight of the lonely balladeer, evidence that Taylor mined the introspective troubadour style long before it became a mawkish sham. In other words, don't blame the father for the sins of the wayward sons.
Mastered from the original analog tapes.
