Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of James Taylor Available Now
Mud Slide Slim is one of those albums that we think should be more popular with audiophiles, at least the ones looking for timeless music with top quality sound.
It has some of the man’s strongest material:
- You’ve Got a Friend;
- You Can Close Your Eyes;
- Hey Mister, That’s Me up on the Jukebox;
and one of his best and most underrated,
- Love Has Brought Me Around.
If you’ve got a top copy of the album, this song, the leadoff on side one, can really rock. It’s yet another in the long list of recordings that really comes alive when you Turn Up Your Volume.
Side One
Love Has Brought Me Around
One of my all-time favorite James Taylor tracks. When you get a good copy, this music comes ALIVE! This is not your typical sad sack, touchy feely James Taylor song. This song ROCKS!
You’ve Got a Friend
Listen to Carole King’s piano. On the best copies the transparency allows her playing to be heard clearly. Her style is unmistakable.
Places in My Past
Riding on a Railroad
Soldiers
Mud Slide Slim
Side Two
Hey Mister, That’s Me up on the Jukebox
As good as any James Taylor song ever written.
