Free Music Review: A Wonderful Compilation Of Later James Taylor Hits!
Hit: 5 Stars
I was lucky enough to first see James Taylor live in a small outdoor venue called Avaloch in rural Lenox, Massachusetts in the summer of 1970, after this first album recorded by the Beatles in London had been released and just before the release of the fabulously successful "Sweet Baby James" album by Warner Brothers. He appeared alone on-stage with a full head of long, long hair in a simple denim shirt and cut-up jeans with his four or five acoustic guitars, and for two and a half hours proceeded to absolutely enchant the sprawling lawn-full of hundreds of audience members with a spellbinding performance of all of the work from both of those albums. Although virtually unknown at the time, word of mouth had spread so quickly in the Berkshires area (who still considers him one of their own) that many of us went out to get both of the albums to play before he appeared. The rest, as they say, is history. Of course, most of the songs included on this second volume of his greatest hits were not on either of those two early albums, but for those of us who became life-long admirers of JT's work early in his career, it has been a delight to watch his career continue over the thirty years since with all these wonderful songs, ranging from "Copperline" to "Your Smiling Face", from wonderful covers of classics like "Handy Man" to "Up On The Roof", this is a fantastic collection of his greatest hits as he began to mature as an artist. This second greatest hits album is a terrific summary of that continuing work. Many of my favorites are here, including the very recent "Enough To Be On Your Way", "Secret O' Life", and "That's Why I'm Here". Of course, so is "Stop Thinkin' `Bout That", "Only A Dream In Rio', and "Never Die Young". His performance here is living proof of his lasting appeal , and proof positive also of just how incredibly talented an interpretive artist Taylor really is. He always pleases with songs like those included here, and this album is sure to please even the most cautious music fan. It is certainly a terrific showcase for how well Taylor can deliver on a variety of original works and covers of classic pop hits like "Everyday" by Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Enjoy
