Walking Man is singer-songwriter James Taylor's fifth album. Released on June 1, 1974, it was not as successful as his previous efforts, only reaching #13 on the Billboard Album Chart. It is also his only studio album not certified gold by the RIAA. The song "Walking Man", released as the album's first single, failed to crack the Billboard chart at all, but nevertheless stands today as an often reprised fan favorite.
