Artist: James Taylor
Album: Gorilla
Year: 1975
James Taylor seems, and this is purely conjecture and speculation, like such a douche. Maybe it's just my perception but that's the way man comes across.But, he can write some fucking hits.
Mexico is easily my favorite in a catalog that is just riddled with hit songs from the '70s. Hell, you could barely turn on the AM radio back in the day without hearing Baby James. He was that freakin' hot at the time.
Anyway...Mexico has this groove that James didn't let out all that often. The fact that he is singing about a place he had never been just cracks me up, too. Don't believe me? Just listen to the lyrics.
"Ooooh Mexico.
Never really been
So I don't really know"
Love that.
If you are having a bad day...you know, if the landlord wants the rent, the baby is hungry, or your crack dealer won't return your call...listen to Mexico. It is guranteed to lift your spirits for three minutes and one second.
Great song. Even if James is kind of a douche bag.
