Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon - Warner Bros 1971

" You've Got A Friend est une chanson puissante et simple et je remercie encore Carole King pour celle-ci. Long Ago And Far Away est une chanson poisseuse et sentimentale mais, magré tout elle est bonne. Je suis un peu embarrassé d'avoir écrisHey, Mister That's Me Up On The Jukebox. La chanson semble si peu reconnaissante, une chanson des débuts se plaignant d'avoir à aller sur le marché avec mes ustensiles. Ma musique sur cet album reflète de plus en plus mon expérience du monde. C'est la première fois que je prenais réellement conscience de ceui-ci. James Taylor

Key Tracks: "Long Ago and Far Away," "You've Got a Friend"
Note rapide de Rolling Stone:It's easy to hear Taylor's reflective bent as self-satisfaction; he's never really pushed himself musically (in the way, for example, Joni Mitchell has). The fact that Taylor actually improved in the role of MOR crooner is the saving grace of his recording career. Mud Slide Slim cemented Taylor's superstar status. But the hit reading of Carole King's "You've Got a Friend" drops some strong hints about the inherent flaccidity of this mellow troubadour approach that the rest of the album doesn't heed (save for "Long Ago and Far Away," with Joni Mitchell's backing vocals).
