Jim Croce Live Concert Album - Classic Folk Rock Music for Relaxation & Road Trips

If you haven't heard Jim Croce live, now's the time. The great singer/songwriter and his partner guitarist Maury Muehleisen take it to the limit with the songs that bring back all your photographs and memories, all acoustic with no orchestration. The set starts with two of my favorites, "You Don't Mess Around With Jim", "Operator (that's not the way it feels)". Croce then moves on to tell the stories of how some of his written songs actually came to be. The ideas were taken from real live people, real characters, "Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown", "Roller Derby Queen", "Speedball Tucker" is about a truck driver who has no trouble completing a destination at any distance, with a little help from those poppin' "west coast turn arounds", of course Jim Croce was a truck driver himself before his brief success in the music field. Listening to Jim Croce, no other songwriter could project so much reality of life, the lyrics soak deep down in your soul, always leaving a good feeling with a positive outlook, Croce's songs were that good, with a natural singing voice to match. Croce's career was cut way to short, a music man who still had alot to say. Take the opportunity to listen to this live recording, and check out "The Final Tour" recording, the audio on both compilations are excellent. Remember Jim Croce.
