Jim Croce bol americký folkový a rockový piesničkár, ktorý medzi rokmi 1966 a 1973 vydal päť štúdiových albumov. Prelom zaznamenal v roku 1972 s albumom You Don't Mess Around with Jim, z ktorého sa preslávila skladba Time in a Bottle, jež po jeho smrti dosiahla číslo jedna v USA. Ďalšou hitovou jednotkou bola pieseň Bad, Bad Leroy Brown z nasledujúceho albumu Life and Times.
Kompilácia Definitive Croce prináša na troch CD výber z jeho tvorby. Zbierka obsahuje spomínané hity aj ďalšie významné skladby ako Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels), I Got a Name či Photographs and Memories, ktoré dokladajú Croceho talent pre emotívne piesničkárstvo s prvkami folku a rocku.
