Episode 133: Jim Croce

This week we're discussing every album by the great Jim Croce. Known by most as the guy who did "Time in a Bottle" and "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," Croce was an exceptional songwriter and folk musician. The man struggled every minute of his career until his tragic and unexpected death in 1973, just days before the release of what would be his last record. Good stuff, sad stuff, real stuff.

Closing track: "Salon and Saloon" from I Got a Name (1973)
