What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Much prefer JT's earlier work but picked this one up for $5 since I dropped out of his studio albums after Flag I
think. Once he started having hits with covers, I was out. This 16 track compilation covers nine albums over a 20
year period (77-97). Only two songs I love, Copperline and Her Town Too with lovely harmony from J.D. Souther. Four
I don't care for at all, three of those being covers, Handy Man, Everyday, and Up On The Roof, all love tracks by
the originals artists, but can't handle James reworks. Worst though goes to his own Only A Dream In Rio. How do you
go from Sweet Baby James to that? Kudos to the man for his longevity in the biz and he has built up a loyal
following over the years. Hasn't had an album of new material in 10 years but he still shows up now and thenand
looking good except for that bald head. Hard to come to grips with hippies with bald heads. This album only went to
#97 and gold status here, as compared to Volume 1's 11 times platinum.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Only A Dream In Rio

Best Track - Her Town Too

She's been afraid to go out
She's afraid of the knock on her door
There's always a shade of a doubt
She can never be sure
Who comes to call
Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend
Anyone at all
Anything but nothing again

It used to be her town
It used to be her town, too
It used to be her town
It used to be her town, too

Seems like even her old girlfriends
Might be talking her down
She's got her name on the grapevine
Running up and down
The telephone line
Talking 'bout
Someone said, someone said
Something 'bout, something else
Someone might have said about her
She always figured that they were her friends
But maybe they can live without her

It used to be her town
It used to be her town, too
It used to be her town
It used to be her town, too

Well, people got used to seeing them both together
But now he's gone and life goes on
Nothing lasts forever, oh no
She gets the house and the garden
He gets the boys in the band
Some of them his friends
Some of them her friends
Some of them understand
Lord knows that this is just a small town city
Yes, and everyone can see you fall
It's got nothing to do with pity
I just wanted to give you a call

It used to be your town
It used to be my town, too
You never know 'till it all falls down
Somebody loves you
Somebody loves you
Darling, somebody still loves you
I can still remember her
When it used to be her town, too
It used to be your town
It used to be my town, too
