106. 'Sweet Baby James' - James Taylor (1970)

Following the modest reception to his debut, James Taylor released ‘Sweet Baby James’ - an album that would not only define his career but also ignite the singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s. Blending elements of folk, country, blues, and soft rock, Taylor crafted a deeply personal soundscape that resonated with a generation searching for authenticity. Against all odds, 'Sweet Baby James' became a landmark success, forever changing the course of American music and influencing countless artists to follow.
