Sealed 1973 Gatefold Original CRC pressing. Includes "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown." The fourth studio album, marking an important moment in his all-too-brief career. This album followed the success of his earlier record "You Don’t Mess Around with Jim" and further solidified Croce's reputation as a poignant storyteller and a master of melodic folk-rock. Produced by Terry Cashman and Tommy West, "Life and Times" features some of Croce’s most enduring material, most notably the hit single "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," which became his only number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 during his lifetime. The album’s sound is characterized by Croce’s warm vocals, acoustic guitar-driven arrangements, and lyrics that reflect slices of Americana, humor, and the struggles of everyday people.
