This three-CD, 68-track compilation doesn't have
everything Jim Croce did, missing some of the
obscure 1960s recordings he made (some with his
wife Ingrid Croce). It does, however, include
everything that most fans of his would be most
keen to acquire, most notably the entirety of
his 1972-73 albums You Don't Mess Around with
Jim, Life and Times, and I Got a Name, which
together encompass all of his most familiar
material. Alongside those three albums, it has
everything from Live: The Final Tour; some of
the posthumous compilation The Faces I've Been;
and ten folky songs from 1969 demos for a
television show project (six done as a duo with
Ingrid), some of which have surfaced on other
collections. It stalks an awkward middle ground:
it's not a box set with every damned last thing,
and it's got too much stuff even for some
dedicated Croce enthusiasts, who might find the
two-CD The 50th Anniversary Collection a little
more manageable. For listeners who want
everything from his brief hitmaking period and
some extras, though, it's well-packaged with
thorough liner notes. The first half of the
program (presenting his three proper solo albums
in order), though, is certainly more consistent
than the rest of the anthology, which is
peripheral in comparison, either because the
material's weaker and/or the instrumentation is
skeletal folk (on the 1969 demos and Live: The
Final Tour).
