Day 164: June 13: Mud Slide Slim
"There's nothing like the sound of sweet soul music."
Here's the odd but mournfully sweet title track from the Mud Slide Slim album. Apparently this song was inspired by a picture James received of a burned tree that had gotten caught up in a mudslide. Someone had attached a sign to the tree that said "I've seen fire and I've seen rain."
This is one of his best albums. It peaked at number two on the Billboard album charts, being kept out of the top spot by Carole King's Tapestry. Both albums contain the song "You've Got a Friend."
No mud. No blue horizon. It is sure is pretty though.
