Life and Times is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Jim Croce. It is best known for his first USA #1 hit Bad, Bad Leroy Brown, but as usual I think his ballads are the real strength of the album, and this one has plenty of them, first and foremost Dreamin' AgainAlabama RainThese Dreams, and It Doesn't Have To Be That Way. Two months later, at the very top of his career, Jim Croce died in an airplane accident.
