In the Spring and Summer of 2012, James headed out on a U.S. tour with his bandmates: Jim Gilstrap, vocals; David Lasley, vocals; Kate Markowitz, vocals; Andrea Zonn, vocals & fiddle; Dean Parks, pedal steel guitar; @larry goldings, keyboards; Jimmy Johnson, bass; Lou Marini Jr., horns; Walt Fowler, horns/keyboards; Steve Gadd, drums; and Luis Conte, percussion.
"Hey Mister That's Me Up on the Jukebox” is a song that appears on James’s third studio album,
"MudSlide Slim and the Blue Horizon," released in 1971. In an interview at Williams College in
2009, James said about this song, “This is a song that I wrote after I had a hit record and things changed utterly for me-- it’s about my manager and about his expectations.”

LYRICS
Hey Mister That’s Me Up on the Jukebox by James Taylor
Hey mister, that’s me up on the jukebox
I’m the one that’s singing this sad song
Well, I’ll cry everytime that you slip in one more dime
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
Southern California that’s as blue as the boy can be
Blue as the deep blue sea
Won’t you listen to me now
I need your golden gated cities like a hole in the head
Just like a hole in the head, I’m free
Hey mister, that’s me up on the jukebox
I’m the one that’s singing this sad song
Well, I’ll cry everytime that you slip in one more dime
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
I do believe I’m headed home
Hey mister, can’t you see that I’m as dry as a bone
I think I’ll spend some time alone
Yes, unless you’ve found a way of squeezing water from a stone
Let the doctor and the lawyer do as much as they can
Let the springtime begin
Let the boy become a man
I done wasted too much time just to sing you this sad song
I done been this lonesome picker a little too long
Hey mister, that’s me up on the jukebox
I’m the one that’s singing this sad song
Well, I’ll cry everytime that you’re up and slip in one more dime
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
Well, I’ve been spreading myself thin these days
Don’t you know
Good-bye
