Time in a Bottle and Bad Bad Leroy Brown are two great sides of Jim
Excellent recommendations.
"Time in A Bottle" is an absolute classic. "I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song" is another great one.
Yes indeed, also a very touching story behind "Time in a bottle"
th-cam.com/video/WNPbavw50T8/w-d-xo.html
Perhaps this isn't fair, as I much prefer several of his other compositions...my limp grad committee chose Time in a Bottle as our song, in 1978. Sorry, but not only were they behind the times, but there were SO many superior options. No wonder I skipped the entire affair...
His name is pronounced CROW-CHEE.
I fear some of the youngsters will not understand what an operator is. Or why she can keep the dime. Jim Croce was such a talent. Imagine how much more he could have accomplished had he not died so young.
... and they don't know what "dropping the dime" means either...
Spot on comment. Sometimes I'm glad I'm old. ❤🤷♀️
LMAO
First heard this on In Concert a tv show with a radio simulcast on WPLJ New York. I had a physical reaction when he said you can keep the dime. Thought it was so sweet. Still do
@@Peter-oh3hc sweet? i've always taken it as bitter.
"You Don't Mess Around With Jim" and "I Got A Name" 👍👍
Those are my 2 favorites.
Jim Croche and Harry Chapin are two of the greatest story telling musicians ever.
And the way we lost both of them too early sucked so bad.
Al Stewart.
Oh, the Jim Croce rabbit hole?! I got you!!! "Speedball Tucker" "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" "Rapid Roy" "Photographs and Memories" "Working at the Car Wash Blues" "These Dreams" "Roller Derby Queen" "Time in a Bottle"...and many many many more!!
Yes, please
don’t forget about Bad bad Leroy Brown and you don’t mess around with Jim his two biggest hits
My favorite of all his fantastic hits is: Alabama Rain. Beautiful.
"She's living in LA, with my best old ex-friend Ray..." Genius. Now you need to do "Time in a Bottle", "I Have to Say I Love You in a Song", "Don't Mess Around with Jim", ...
“Time in a bottle”:is another great song. “I got a name” another great Croce song. Croce is a pure singer songwriter.
Croce died not long after this song in a plane crash, at only 30 years old
Jim Croce, a songwriters storyteller.
Love, love, love this man. He was my first crush as a little girl, watching him play and he had such deep, expressionful eyes. Maury Muehelson always played second guitar with him on stage. They died together in the plane crash. If you watch the live performance of this, you will see Maury on the stage with him. RIP.
Yes, Maury was Jim’s right hand man. He added so much to Jim’s music and also lost his life in that tragic plane crash.
So much Croce to explore. "I Got A Name" is my personal anthem, but is one of the few songs that he didn't write. "Time In A Bottle" is timeless. You are probly too young to remember, but there used to be something called phone booths where one could pay a dime to make a call. Before the days of cell pones, haha!
Another one we lost too soon. You can't go wrong with Jim Croce. Hard to imagine what else he could have produced, but it would have been wonderful.
Harry Chapin is another musician who wrote songs that told a story. Start with “Taxi”. It’s bittersweet.
Or Cat’s Cradle!
Jim Croce, Gordon lightfoot, harry chapin and Kenny loggins
Sadly Jim was taken way to soon, but his music will never leave us.
There was a popular singer-songwriter era, and Jim Croce was right in the middle of it. He wrote 90% of his own songs. Died tragically young in a plane crash at the peak of his fame.
For Jim Croce: Rowdier songs "Don't mess around with Jim" "Bad, bad Leroy Brown" slower and deeper: Time in a bottle, I've got a name
Jim Croce was another great back in the day. So many great songs to listen to. Time in A Bottle, I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song, I Gotta Name, You Don’t Mess Around With Jim, One Less Set Of Footprints. The list is endless and all great.
Oh my Chod, Jim Croce was a splendid songwriter along with Harry Chapin and Gordon Lightfoot. I have spent many hours listening to the gems they have given us. Thanks for this and keep exploring.
The man had such a gift for songwriting. He left way earlier than he should have, but he left something behind.
Jim Croce is one of those artists that I always love to sing along to. I can picture a group of people sitting in a pub singing it together.
2 acoustic guitars. Jim played one and good friend, Maury Muehleisen, played the second.
Time in a bottle is a song that he wrote for his baby son.
I had to tell you I love you in a song he wrote for his wife after she got upset with him for unexpectedly inviting a bunch of friends over for a party.
He has lots of stories.
Try Time in a Bottle...Big Jim...
Bad Bad Leroy Brown...I Got a Name
Chod, You'll love his "I Got A Name", "I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song", and "Time In A Bottle". He was a special talent, great singer/songwriter.
Chod, It was late 1972. In fact, this song peaked at #17 for the week ending December 9th, 1972. To give you an idea of what it was like to be a music lover in the 70's , let's take a little peek at what was popular at the time. BTW, I was thirteen at this time and been in love with music since the age of 5 or 6. I had studied it in school and by 13 I had a little knowledge. I actually played in my first rock band at thirteen. So, here are some of the songs that accompanied Croce that week on the Top 40 - PAPA WAS A ROLLIN’ STONE -•- The Temptations, IF YOU DON’T KNOW ME BY NOW -•- Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW -•- Johnny Nash, VENTURA HIGHWAY -•- America, I’M STONE IN LOVE WITH YOU -•- The Stylistics, SUMMER BREEZE -•- Seals and Crofts, I’LL BE AROUND / HOW COULD I LET YOU GET AWAY-•- The Spinners, SUPERFLY -•- Curtis Mayfield, DIALOGUE (Parts 1 and 2) -•- Chicago, LIVING IN THE PAST -•- Jethro Tull, SITTING -•- Cat Stevens, YOUR MAMA DON’T DANCE -•- Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina, and on & on & on....... You get the idea. Those who are of my vintage know exactly what I am talking about. It was an amazing time for popular music!
Right Chod, Jim had a younger partner named Maury Muehleisen who was described as a “classically trained pianist/ guitarist and singer/ songwriter”. In the early stage of their partnership Jim just played guitar to back Maury, but they changed to the opposite roles when Jim’s talents became more developed. I just learned that sadly, Maury died in the plane crash too, at age 24 (Jim was 30).
One of the greatest singer/songwriter talents.
I was in awe of Croce first time I heard him. Every song he ever did was good. He touched our hearts too. He was the real deal for me.
Jim has a number of songs that you could listen to that are timeless. I still remember hearing when he was killed and thinking even as a kid what a loss to the music world.
The singer/song writers of the 70's put out some of the best music of all time .Great reaction !!!
I still have a reel to reel player and two peach crates full of tapes that my father left me when he passed away. The Jim Croce tapes are the first ones I pull out to listen to when I'm in the garage and chilling while I'm handloading. Takes me back to when I was a kid with him sitting in his lap eating sunflower seeds while he graded papers.
Another amazing singer song writer gone to soon. Loved Jim Croce for 40+yrs, now one of those like James Taylor, who every song you know and seems to take me somewhere in time . LET'S INTO CHOD. TO JAMES TAYLOR WHO'S WITH ME? ( YOU GOT A FRIEND ) PEACE HIPPIE JOE
Chod, you show such appreciation for music during a time long before you were born. Yes music seems to have lost its way but so has the people who write it. I have had an ear for great music all my life and was blessed with working with some such as Eddie Money, Doug and Stu of CCR, Elvin Bishop, The Rascals Gene and Dino, The Diamonds, Lydia Pence, Many Latin Bands, Oldies Groups to include Al Boyd who helped co-write Standing on Shaky Ground by The Temptations and so on. Times have changed but there are many creative minds out there if only they used it instead of taking the short cuts by rapping out words and not singing them. Music and lyrics have grown dark and hollow as if they have fallen into a blackhole. I am sure you know what i mean. Use your talent Chod and encourage others to do the same. You are a diamond in the rough, don't waste it by telling yourself you can't be like all the greats before you. That drumset you are investing in isn't just there to bang on, hone your skills because your love for music is the key to open doors to what you love and do best.
Your comments are spot on. You can always tell when it's from someone's heart instead of handed to them by someone else. Croce was the real deal. Brilliant lyricist and musician.
This was my first favorite artist, I grew up on Jim Croce, I am 41, in 1984 I was listening to this on a cassette tape, this became "My tape" because I loved Jim Croce's music so much, so much good music by this man, gone too early at the peak of his career, watch the "behind the music" it's amazing. So much good content from him.
Another folk song to try is “ City of New Orleans” - a great American classic train song done well by Arlo Guthrie.
Perhaps the greatest folk song ever written. I rode “The City of New Orleans” from Chicago to Memphis with my wife, who was pregnant with our first child back in 1982. Couldn’t help but to think of those song lyrics while looking out the window and watching all of the little towns go by. 😎🎶❤️
@@philpartynski3125 Nice to hear from another fan of the song ! I also have a long train ride in my past - the Trans- Canadian Railway, which stopped in every town along the way. I even had the added bonus of peak fall foliage colors out the window ! I’m partial to Arlo’s version, but recently found a great live rendition by The Highwaymen that I totally recommend. They really nailed it and electrified the audience.
@@tcanfield I listened to that version and it was a nice take on the song, but Arlo’s is still the best. Incidentally, I had the great fortune of seeing the author of this song play a concert in 1977 at Northern Illinois U. Great show! Just Steve Goodman and Jethro Burns and they brought down the house!
@@philpartynski3125 I hope you had a chance to see Arlo too, because he announced recently that he has retired. He had suffered a couple of mild strokes and said he realized after seeing a video of himself playing a gig that his guitar work was not up to his standards anymore. I was fortunate to see him in his prime (47). He loved my former hometown ( Arcata, CA ) and played often at an old movie theater downtown. Such a great guy - he had a fixed up schoolbus and locals would go on board and meet him !
@@tcanfield Wow! What a great memory for you. I never had the pleasure of seeing Arlo.
What a great rabbit hole to go down. He was a true poet. He had a great variety of beautiful love songs, heartbreaking songs, and kind of swampy. bluesy rock. Photographs and Memories, Rapid Roy, These Dreams are faves...but honestly- you can't go wrong with any Jim Croce songs. Died WAY too soon...
Time in a Bottle is one of his best, you have alot to choose from.
Time In A Bottle is a different level, just amazing!👍🏻❤️☮️✌🏻🎸🎤
Jim Croce died where I live in Natchitoches Louisiana in 1973. He had played the night before at NSU, our local college. His plane took off and clipped the top of some trees and went down. It is sort of a legend around here...I was 13, and I'll never forget😢🎶🎶❤
Time in a Bottle is another really good Jim Croce song
Great song choice. Croce was great ! Love your reviews ,you seem to get it like no one else, it's words and music and YES he had a guitarist named Maury Muehlheisen playing lead and melody guitar on almost all his songs. You have a good ear.
Top notch musicians . Thanks !
Those wonderful singer/songwriters....James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Bob Seger, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Bob Dylan......Holy Cow what talent
Jim played rhythm guitar. His guitarist is rarely mentioned but he was brilliant and died in the same plane crash. His name is Maury Muehleisen. All the great guitar sounds are his and he did sing backup occasionally.
Jim Croce was an amazing storyteller, another one gone too soon
Maury Muehleisen, Jim Croce's guitarist., put out his own album Gingerbreadd. There was so much new music in the early 70's that Gingerbreadd got lost in the shuffle. The album is surprisingly good. It can be found on TH-cam.
Thank you for your reaction to the great Jim Croce, RIP. The man was ripped from us far too young, but you are spot on in your recognition of songwriters writing their own music, something that really came into prominence thanks to The Beatles! That was two guitars you heard, not just one, and Jim does some marvelous live performances which I would highly recommend. No theatrics, just two guys playing guitars and making beautiful music. "Time In A Bottle", "I Got A Name", "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song", and "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" are his best. Enjoy the trip!!
Jim Croce is one of my favorite narrative voices from the past. He has a very interesting background. If I remember correctly, I think he was an English teacher and was teaching as he launched his music. Thanks for re-introducing me to his artistic presence.
On my way to school in the 9th grade when I heard on the radio that he had died in a plane crash. It was all over school by the time I got there. Time In A Bottle he wrote I believe for his baby son. I've Got A Name is another good one.
Same for me. I didn't hear it on the radio, but found out on the school bus (going to 9th grade, as well). I have been saddened by the death of many a musician lost too soon, but Jim is one of the few times I remember exactly where I was when I found out. I was devastated (as were many), and cried all day.
Everytime I hear Jim I think about that video of him with his kid and it makes me feel so sad, RIP Jim wherever you are, you were awesome!
Great choice Chod! One of the greatest singer songwriters!
How can you not like Jim. His music was so honest and pure. You must have an empty soul not to like this.
The core of the song is two guitars and a piano. The act was basically a two man act, Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen. The lead guitar work you were hearing was provided by Maury and Jim played rhythm. They both died in a small plane crash on September 20, 1973.
Great reaction! Beautiful song! The ultimate “story” song is Harry Chapin’s “Taxi”. Go for it! 😎🎶❤️
He just slipped in and sang the songs we all have felt. Thanks!
This was the song that inspired me to first pick up a guitar (not realizing at the time that you're hearing two guitars - Maury Muehleisen was the other, who died in the same plane crash that took Jim's life). Years later, I've just about got it, but all of Jim's songs were exquisitely played...You can't go wrong with any of 'em!
I think after Jim's hitch in the Army, he became an Over the Road Trucker. He got a lot of his songs lyrics from this experience. Most of the songs are true experiences of his stops along the way between hauls. Just a down to earth sort of guy. His sidekick Maury plays some mean backup guitar. I think that's who you might have heard. Speedball Tucker would be a good choice for the next song. As would many others.
Time in a Bottle, written for his yet to be born son.
New York's Not My Home and Walking Back to Georgia are two of my favorite Croce songs. He sadly died in 1973 just months after having made it.
Jim Croce is one of my favorites! His song usually has 2 guitars with his guitarist Maury Muehleisen backing him up and backup vocals as well! Other songs to listen to is "Photographs and Memories", "Dreamin' Again", "I Got a Name", "You Don' Mess Around with Jim", and "Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown" for starters. You could do his entire discography in a few hours.
If you like singers/songwriters...you need to check out John Denver (who is my absolute favorite!)!! "Annie's Song" was written right after an argument with his first wife. "Rocky Mountain High" and "Sunshine On My Shoulders" are great! "Take me Home, Country Roads" is a classic from John Denver too! I seriously recommend listening to John Denver!
Oh I loved this guy. Another great story teller. He could grab your heart.
“Croce” is pronounced CROW-chee. It’s Italian.
This is one of my favorite songs by Croce (pronounced Cro-chee) along with "I Got a Name", the latter beings perhaps the only one of his best known songs that he didn't write.
Glad you made it to Jim. Incredible songwriter. He doesn't look like he would be so sentimental. I have to say i love you in a song is a good one one. But really, anything he recorded is great. Enjoy
He had lots of good songs. My personal favorite was "One Less Set of Footprints." His death such a tregedy as he had really only gotten started after reaching great acclaim.
Great song and acoustic guitar playing. Nice thoughtful reaction.
He did perform with another acoustic guitar guy Maury Muehleisen. They died together on their way to their next concert in Texas. It broke my 12 yr old heart when I heard he died.
Jim was real and authentic and it came through in his music. RIP Jim and Maury. :-(
Love this song. Jim came out of what was called the "singer songwriter movement" largely (though not solely) started by Bob Dylan but a CHANGE from the history of popular music where EVERYONE sang other peoples' songs. Songs written by an entire class of songwriting professionals who never were performing musicians themselves. The last of that tradition up until singer/songwriter was the early 60's where you have Motown, Stax, and the last of the New York crowd writing music for groups like Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, The Shirelles, Dionne Warwick and many, many others. The criticism that today's artists don't always write their own songs is really just a reversion to what really was a much older, longer tradition. Hey, Frank Sinatra didn't write for himself, y'know? Neither did Elvis, actually, only he would insist on being GIVEN a writing credit in exchange for recording someone's tune so he would get royalties for that, as well. The music industry's a dirty business and always has been.
Wonderful singer and songwriter. ❤️❤️❤️
Jim played Rhythm guitar. There was a guy who played with him who's name slips my mind at this age. But the guy who played with him was one of the best acoustic picking guitarist back in those days. Both were killed in the plane crash.
A very great songwriter. He left us too soon. !!!
You can keep the dime! Does anyone else miss those days like I do? A public phone, A dime! Miss Them!
Jim Croce was such an amazing talent who left us way too soon. But the man put out classic song after classic song. Such a pure voice.
Time in a Bottle, New York’s Not My Home, One Less Set of Footsteps and Photographs and Memories are some others you should try.
"Photographs and Memories" is my favorite of his, but he had several good ones.
Thanks love Jim Groce. Enjoyed
one of the great storyteller singers, excellent
He had quite a few hits for such a short career: Bad Bad Leroy Brown, You Don't Mess Around with Jim, Time in a Bottle, I Got a Name, I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song, Workin' at the Car Wash Blues. Died way too young.
Thanks for the awesome tunes. One of the great story tellers of our time
A truly great song writer and one hell of a story teller !
My go to song for Karaoke, was psyched to see this in your list!
Jim Croce was a hard working singer/songwriter who was just becoming famous when tragedy struck. He mostly toured with just one other guitarist to back him up. Live shows seemed very intimate, where he would tell stories in between songs of how events in his life inspired the song. It’s sad he left us with only a few albums, but there are diamonds to be found. Try Time in a Bottle, I’ve Got a Name, and Bad Bad Leroy Brown for some of his classics. Cheers!
Jim croces music is so timeless. What first drew me to him apart from him is the excellent guitar playing by Maury Muehleisen.
He added another layer to the music without crowding everything else out.
When I saw this song performed live there was two acoustic guitars. I am pretty sure it was recorded that way as well.
Lover's Cross, I've Got a Name, Time in a Bottle, Workin' at the Car Wash Blues, I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song, New York's Not My Home, Don't Mess Around with Jim, One Less Set of Footsteps. To me, the best acoustic singer/songwriter!
And you are hearing 2 acoustic guitars: Maury Muehleisen was his guitar partner! Unfortunately, he died in the same plane crash with Jim.
Probably two guitars, based on videos I've seen. Croce was probably the main guy on guitar, but based on what I've seen, there was someone else there as well. Check out some of his more humorous stuff as well: Bad, Bad Leory Brown; Roller Derby Queen, You Don't Mess Around With Jim, etc. Great storyteller
Really good storyteller from that age. Harry Chapin was another.
Great story teller. Beautiful sad song. Thanks for posting.
He has so many great songs.
Check out don't mess around with Jim.
My absolute favorite Croce song.
He was a genius singer/songwriter. So sad to die so young.
I really miss the good storyteller songwriters like Jim and a Harry Chapin.
And Jerry Jeff Walker.
On September 20, 1973, Croce, Muehleisen and four others were killed in a plane crash in Natchitoches, Louisiana. ... Upon takeoff, the plane did not gain enough altitude and crashed into a pecan tree at the end of the runway. According to the official report, the 57-year-old charter pilot had suffered a heart attack.
What a great song and artist. .
You should check at James Taylor as well. He has so many wonderful songs.
Back in the day a lot of artists (musicians) had the songs written for them or for any music artist. But I believe Jim Croce wrote his own songs. He was gifted.
Unfortunately, Jim Croce died at the young age of 30 in 1973, when a plane he was on crashed after takeoff in Louisiana.
I recommend
"Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"
One of the best story telling writer's EVER!
Along with Harry Chapin...another fantastic storyteller who died far too young.
Before the 60s (roughly), most singers did not write their own songs. But with the folk movement and probably the beat movement of the late 50's, which brought us people like Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger / Peter Paul & Mary etc, the singer-songwriter started to become a thing. You listened recently to Neil Diamond's Solitary Man... well he was just one of the early singer-songwriters that came to the fore in the 60s. The 60s and 70s were a particularly rich time for singer-songwriters. In the 80s, music took a turn for more highly-produced type of music product.
