Released in 1973, I Got a Name is one of Jim Croce’s most recognisable and enduring albums, issued shortly after his death and cementing his legacy as a master storyteller. The record balances warmth, humour, and quiet melancholy, pairing Croce’s plain-spoken songwriting with relaxed folk-rock arrangements. Anchored by the title track, the album captures the reflective, human scale that made Croce’s music feel intimate and timeless, and remains a cornerstone of 1970s singer-songwriter collections.
