I have not done one of these in awhile. Instead of starting all over, I am just going to pick up where I left off.
Now, you are probably expecting me to reveal a Jack Johnson song, because is what most people think of when they think "music that chills you out". But I am taking a different route, and picking a song from an artist who was chill ass Jack Johnson before chill ass Jack Johnson was chill ass Jack Johnson.
The man is James Taylor and the song is Sweet Baby James.
This is a beautiful song to close your eyes to and forget life for two minutes and fifty-five seconds.
It is a perfect blend of folk, country-western, pop and a lullaby.
If I ever have a son and name him James, I am singing this song to him every single night of his life. The first seven years should go fine, but after he gets married I suppose that is when it will get awkward.
But in all seriousness, James Taylor is one of the best singer-songwriters ever.
EVER.
He paved the way for artists like Jack Johnson and singer-songwriters alike.
That is why whenever ever I am in the mood to relax and drift off for awhile, I always go to James Taylor and Sweet Baby James is the first song I play of his.
