Jim Croce Singles: ILXor, could you help me place this POLL?

Of Croce, specifcally, nothing against Gordon.

... but that's not the way it feels

finally rolled the dice and picked up a couple of his albums. been spending time with You Don't Mess Around With Jim first. it's really nice... there's definitely filler, but it's charming, warm filler.

also came to the conclusion that paul simon was trying to write a Jim Croce song with "Stranded in a Limousine." the chorus-ending line is VERY similar to those of "Hard Time Losin' Man" and "Rapid Roy." very different arrangement obv, but i can definitely hear Croce opening up a tune with "He was a mean individual / he had a heart like a bone."
