來自於波士頓的音樂之家，具有憂鬱內向的外表與氣質，以細膩溫柔的歌聲打動無數歌迷的詹姆斯．泰勒，1968年推出第一張專輯，1970年的「Sweet Baby James」讓他初嘗成功的滋味，第三張專輯「Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon」更讓他奪得葛萊美「最佳男歌手」大獎而揚名國際。1971年創作女歌手卡洛．金推出暢銷專輯「Tapestry」時，並沒有將自己寫的《You've Got A Friend》發行單曲，反而留給好友詹姆斯泰勒收錄在這張「Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon」裡面，單曲不僅奪得排行榜冠軍，還獲得「年度歌曲」的殊榮，專輯銷售更突破100萬張而成為白金唱片。難得一見的經典再現，當然是樂迷不能錯過的珍藏首選。

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.
