I like the CD very much. It arrived in excellent condition, plays as though it was brand new and I saved more than if I had bought it used at the CD store.
This cd is just like the concert! We saw him this summer and this was pretty much his line up. It is the very best of sweet baby James all grown up--and he still sounds sweet as ever. The songs include favorites like Fire and Rain, Up On The Roof, Carolina On My Mind. They are classics and he sings them like he's singing to a friend. It would make a thoughtful gift.

To get caught up in how it was made, the musicianship of the person whose name..

Pros: Soothing, thoughtful soft-rock classics.
Cons: The latter part of his career is underrepresented.
It s a testament to James Taylor s soothing voice and quality songwriting that he has maintained such a high level of popularity for almost four decades now. Since strolling onto the scene with an acoustic guitar via The Beatles Apple label in 1969, JT has defined the male singer-songwriter, and in addition to his own success, has served as the musical father to acts ranging from Duncan Sheik to John Mayer, not to mention his own two record-making kids, Ben and Sally.
