Excerpt: "Carolina in My Mind" is a song written and performed by singer-songwriter James Taylor, which first appeared on his 1968 debut album, James Taylor. Taylor wrote it while overseas recording for the Beatles' label Apple Records, and the song's themes reflect his homesickness at the time.

The original recording of the song was done at London's Trident Studios during the July to October 1968 period, and was produced by Asher.
