Description Five-time GRAMMY®winner James Taylor's Sweet Baby James, originally released in February of 1970, is often credited as the album that launched the era-defining singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s. Rhino's new pressing of this timeless classic on 180 gram virgin vinyl is an extraordinary way to experience the warmth, depth and range of emotions of signature Taylor songs including “Fire And Rain,” “Country Road” and the title track, which fittingly ends with the line, “but singing works just fine for me.”--http://www.rhinorecords.com Sweet Baby James is singer-songwriter James Taylor's second album, and his first release on Warner Bros. Records. It was released in February 1970 and features one of Taylor's earliest single successes: "Fire and Rain". Sweet Baby James showcased Taylor's talents and showed the direction he would take in the early 1970s with the expansion of his career. The song "Suite for 20 G" was so named because Taylor was promised a $20,000 advance once the album was delivered. With one more song needed, he strung together three unfinished songs into a "suite," and completed the album. Read more at Wikipedia about this album or artist ...
