way, Sweet Baby James was arguably the first shot in what became the soft revolution of the early 1970s. A refugee of the Beatles' Apple label, Taylor struck commercial gold with Sweet Baby James by augmenting his acoustic guitar and soothing vocals with laid-back accompaniment (with included equally influential singer/songwriter insurrectionist Carole King on piano) and penning a slew of songs that drew upon folk, soul, and rock influences.

11. Suite for 20 G I picked ... ...'Goodnight you moonlight ladies, Rockabye sweet baby James, Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, Won't you let me go down in my dreams, And Rockabye sweet baby James.' This track may be about the Cowboys, Women and Beer, but the sentiments are very comforting.
'Fire and Rain' is another track that was very famous in the seventies, so I'm led to believe. There are lots of little gems on this CD and the more you listen to it, I believe the ...
