In late summer 1969, James Taylor broke his hands and feet in a motorcycle accident on Martha's Vineyard. The injuries, however, did not stop him from writing songs. In fact, the tunes he penned that fall would comprise his breakthrough album, the landmark disc entitled Sweet Bay James. Released in February 1970, Sweet Baby James would rise to #3 on the Billboard charts. So would the single from the disc, Fire and Rain, a song about Taylor's experience in psychiatric institutions and the suicide of his friend, Suzanne Schnerr. Sweet Baby James received a Grammy nomination for Album of The Year, and has been ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the 500 Greatest Rock Albums of All Time, clocking in at #103 on that list. This soundboard recording captures Taylor in concert in Worcester e on February 22 1970, 52 years ago today, just about the time when Sweet Baby James was released.
