“Sweet Baby James”

A lullaby from James Taylor to his namesake nephew was released as a single in 1970 but didn’t chart. He’d gotten caught up in the total disarray at Apple Records after his first album and wound up with drug and mental health issues. Thankfully he turned it around! I love the line about driving the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston, having made that trip in the other direction myself. The Berkshires are just gorgeous. This one’s an absolute fave of mine.
