Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me
Mac Davis |
Released 1972 Mac Davis' breakthrough album and the bearer of his biggest hit, Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me established Davis as a major performer as well as a songwriter. "Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me" topped the pop chart for three weeks and set the tone for this accomplished singer/songwriter album that straddles the lines between commercial pop, folk, and country. "Singer/songwriter" became a genre rather than a descriptor in the early '70s when artists like Davis, Jonathan Edwards, and James Taylor began mixing styles into a cohesive but hard-to-classify blend. Davis had less of a folk orientation than Edwards or Taylor, which may be why his music has a more period-specific sound, but he remains one of the most multi-talented artists of his day. ~ Greg Adams, All Music Guide
