Song #393: "Mexico"--James Taylor (1975)

When you think of 1975 and James Taylor, and you're either his fan or a fan of popular music history, the song which immediately comes to mind is "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)", which was a smash hit, reaching the top of the charts.

His follow-up single from the "Gorilla" LP wasn't so successful on the charts, but still makes most of the compilation CD's released in subsequent years. I take this song, which you don't hear on the radio like you do the other song mentioned. But this one always stuck with me; I find it easy to sing to, love the chorus especially. Another song I'd sing in the car or shower without ANY human interaction. :)

Enjoy the second song from Sweet Baby James in our Top 500.
