Last Days

Ep. 137 - Jim Croce


Listen Later

On September 20, 1973, Jim Croce — the singer-songwriter whose plainspoken poetry captured the heart of working-class America — died at the age of 30 in a plane crash just as his star was on the rise. With timeless hits like Bad, Bad Leroy BrownOperator, and Time in a Bottle, Croce helped revive the folk-rock and singer-songwriter tradition that stretched from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan, blending blue-collar realism with universal emotion. His sudden death, coming only days before the release of I Got a Name, cut short a remarkable rise and left behind a legacy that has endured for generations.


Hosts: Jason Beckerman & Derek Kaufman
