Only a serious James Taylor fan would know this one, off of his “Mudslide Slim and the Blue Horizon“ album from 1971. I didn’t know till now that JT didn’t write this song - it was written by one Danny “Kootch” Kortchmar.

Careful of what you do now.
If you keep listening to your old lady,

PS: The two albums I had on cassette tape way back were "Mudslide Slim" and "Sweet Baby James". I don't think there's a bad song on either one, Dan.
Thanks for writing in.
How in the living heck did you wind up on this page to begin with??

PS Yep, actually I was just looking it up to remember which album. I remember my dad working at the radio station when I was a teen, brought home a copy of "James Taylor", stamped DEMO in 69 and gave it to me, they didn't want it. Fell in love on the spot.....wish I still had that album, it'd be worth something today...
