Jim Croce’s Career was so short lived thathe made only three professional studio albums. So this first release of new Croce material since 1973 is a “big dea!” Recorded at Jim and Ingrid’s kitchen table on an old Wollensak recorder, these 15 tunes reveal the “rootsy” side of the singer-songwriter. With songs by Merle Haggard, Lefty Frizzell, and Jimmie Rodgers this American Classic CD includes Jim singing “ I’m in the Jailhouse Now”, “ Mama Tried”, “Six Days on the Road”, “Cigarettes, Whiskey and wild, Wild Women”. The notes by Jim’s wife Ingrid and son A.J., add to the intimacy.
