Complete in Him

Description

Complete in Him is an album by the American singer and songwriter Jim Cole, self-released in 1976.

He sounds a lot like James Taylor so chances are if you enjoy simple easy acoustic expressions like «Fire And Rain» and «You’ve Got A Friend» then you’ll probably dig Jim Cole’s songs, too. Complete In Him features Jim on acoustic guitar, assisted by others on bass, piano, Fender Rhodes, drums and additional guitars. The title song, «Broken Hearts, Broken Dreams» and «Goodbye Grey Days» are all dead-on for Taylor’s relaxed acoustic style. A couple satisfying country rockers on here with worthy electric leads («Name His Name», «The Messiah»), as well as some nice acoustic rock («It’s Jesus») and moody rural The Way-styled ballads («Give Your Life To Jesus», «Your Invitation»). Exists in both a 10-song and a 12-song version. You’ll definitely want the 12-song version since there are two additional hard-rocking tracks («Time Is Surely Running» and the slow blues rocker «New Man Tune»), both of which deliver some first-rate guitar leads. Custom record from Lebanon, Ohio, with b&w cover photo of Jim playing guitar. [Ken Scott, The Archivist]
