Photographs & Memories: His Greatest Hits by Jim Croce

Personnel: Jim Croce (vocals, guitar). Less than a year after a tragic plane crash took the lives of both singer/guitarist Jim Croce and his touring guitarist Maury Muehleisen on September 20, 1973, the first of many 'best of' collections surfaced, PHOTOGRAPHS & MEMORIES. Since it was originally released, it has become undoubtedly Croce's most popular and best-known release, as it contains nearly all of his very best compositions of his short career. Few artists in folk and rock history have been able to weave storytelling lyrics and fluid guitar lines as masterfully as Croce and Muehleisen did, as proven by just about any of the fourteen tracks included here. You'll find such folk rock classics as "You Don't Mess Around With Jim," "Photographs and Memories," "Time In A Bottle," "Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)," "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," as well as such fan faves as "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song," "Rapid Roy," and "One Less Set Of Footsteps." While a slight criticism is the mysterious abse...

Pros Some great works of art
Cons A few just OK tunes
Recommended it? Yes

Jim Croce has some very memorable songs. The following CD review is of some of his greatest hits. So as to not repeat myself on each song, each one except number 8 on this CD was written by Croce. So what we have is a talented song writer, singer, and performer. Quite a few of these numbers I can... Read full review »

Pros Great Songs, Touching Songs and Love Songs.
Cons Short music career.
Recommended it? Yes

Today I was listening to the radio, a Christmas song came over the air by Jim Croce. So I decided to write a review on a great talented man who don't get the recognition that he so much deserves. Jim Croce's life was cut short due to a tragic plane crash with him and his friends and fellow band... Read full review »

Jim Croce ? ?Baddest Man In The Whole Damn Town?

Pros All of these songs are incredible
Cons He's dead and cannot make anymore music
Recommended it? Yes

In my knowledge of popular music, Jim Croce is more popular than I thought. Sure I knew two songs that were in his repertoire; one being Bad, Bad Leroy Brown and the other is Time In A Bottle. The latter song is the reason why I bought the CD a couple years ago in Costco. I bought it, never played... Read full review »

Photographs & Memories

Until his untimely death, Jim Croce was a force to be reckoned with on radio playlists. Photographs & Memories repackages some of his best work. Romantic acoustic- oriented songs were his hallmark, and songs like "Time in a Bottle," were huge hits because of their easy sentimentality. "I Got a Name" was the singer as well-worn folk traveler, while "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and even "You Don't Mess Around with Jim" followed standard boogie chord progressions, albeit with Croce's softer rock feel. There wasn't much really separating the overt emotions of "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" and "Operator" from his sap-dripping contemporaries, but there was just enough of an edge in Croce's warm voice to elevate his love songs to another level. Like a, oh, moderately priced wine, Croce remains a classic-- accessible, affordable, and easy to enjoy. -- Steve Gdula
