Best of the 3

mbd731

Jim Croce was one of the best singer/songwriters of all time. This album was his best, although the other 2 were just as good.

Croce Goes Digital

StayHungry

Finally. They released the 3 Jim Croce albums, up until now, one could only get the greatest hits cd. For those who want to add songs not found on the greatest hits, start here. Box #10 is the best Croce song you've never heard, A Long Time Ago is a nice little love song, and Hard Time Losin' Man another great Croce "character" song a la Working at the Carwash Blues or Roller Derby Queen.

Croce’s debut ABC album was also his commercial breakthrough, topping the charts for five weeks, largely due to the comic, up-tempo title tune, a story song about competing pool hustlers, although Croce also reached the Top 20 with the change-of-pace ballad “Operator (That’s Not the Way It Feels).” Just after his death, ABC issued the track “Time in a Bottle,” and a newly ironic message propelled it to number one. – William Ruhlmann
