Sweet Baby James

Sweet Baby James is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter James Taylor, released on February 1, 1970, by Warner Bros. Records. It reached number three on the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart, and includes two of Taylor's earliest successful singles: "Fire and Rain" and "Country Road", which reached number three and number thirty-seven on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. This success made Taylor one of the most prominent figures in the emerging singer-songwriter movement.

It was listed at number 104 on Rolling Stone's list "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and, in 2000, it was voted number 228 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. In 2002, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
