James Taylor: Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon (Warner Reprise)
Jerry Gilbert, Sounds, 1 May 1971
GOOD OLD predictable James has done it again. He offers not the slightest hint of surprise on his new album, and as expected he has included Danny Kootch's 'Machine Gun Kelly' and his own 'Highway Song' and 'Riding On The Railroad', which have been in his repertoire for some time.
