My Take
I keep coming back to Jim Croce because his music smells like real work. He took odd jobs to pay the bills while writing songs, and you can hear it — his characters are barroom toughs and lonely operators sketched with a novelist's affection. Five albums in seven years, then a plane crash at thirty, and yet Time in a Bottle still does exactly what its title promises: it preserves a moment forever. There is a cruel irony in a man who wrote so tenderly about not having enough time running out of it so young. For me, he proves brevity and immortality are not opposites.
