Although he died on September 20, 1973, singer-songwriter Jim Croce lives on with three 2008 CD reissues on Rhinos Encore series. The Philly-born Croce released his first breakthrough album, You Dont Mess Around With Jim in 1972. Produced by production legends, Terry Cashman and Tommy West, Croces 1972 ABC Records debut spawned several huge hits including the famous title track, Time In A Bottle and Operator (Thats Not The Way It Feels). 1973s Life And Times spotlighted Croces number one hit single Bad, Bad Leroy Brown and the album was still high on the charts when Croces plane went down in Natchitoches, Louisiana in 1973. One of Croces greatest songs, I Got A Name was also the title of his final album, I Got A Name. The album was released shortly after Croces untimely end. In addition to the brilliant and timeless title track, I Got A Name also featured the equally moving Ill Have To Say I Love You In A Song. After many years of forgotten memories, in 2008 I heard I Got A Name on the Delilahs nationally syndicated radio show and it really stunned me that Croces music still sounds so vital and innovative. 35 years after his passing, Croces music is ripe for rediscovery. www.Rhino.com / www.Delilah.com |
