Sweet Baby James
"Sweet Baby James" is a song written and recorded by James Taylor which serves as the opening and title track from his 1970 breakthrough album Sweet Baby James. Although never released as a single, it is one of his best-known and most popular tunes, and arguably his signature song.
The song was written by Taylor for the son of his older brother Alex, who was also named James (and indeed was named after him). Deliberately a cross between a cowboy song and a lullabye, it was first thought up by Taylor as he was driving to meet his infant nephew for the first time. Taylor spen
t considerable effort on the lyrics, whose verses he later said used the most intricate rhyming pattern of his career. Now the First of December was covered with snow And so was the Turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston Lord, the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting With ten mi
les behind me and ten thousand more to go The chorus echoes the lullabye sentiment, with a reference to "Rock-a-bye Baby". "Sweet Baby James" was included on Taylor's diamond-selling Greatest Hits 1976 compilation.
