Walking Man is singer-songwriter James Taylor's fifth album. Released in 1974, it was not as successful as his previous efforts. 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 favourite.
