"When I started collecting vinyl back in high school, a fun hobby of mine was reading through the liner notes to see if my favorite musicians were featured on my favorite albums. And oh boy, did I geek out when I saw Carole King's name all over James Taylor's Sweet Baby James and Mud Slide Slim albums, and vice versa for James on Carole's Tapestry and Music. They created such a warm and dynamic sound together in the '70s, one that felt so unique yet really familiar — I'll never get sick of their collaborations."
