What Are You Listening To? - InvaderBob - 26-04-2016
Hey Crazy-Horse ! Good to know you like the Bryan Adams album, its one of my favourite. And Summer of 69' is as punchy as easy to play on the guitar ! Definitely a song that could make you start on this instrument. What do you think about the song A Little Love ?

I was never a big fan of Taylor's, but I have a very good live album that Jerome sent me a while ago.

I lost interest once he started having hits with covers
but I love those early albums

James Taylor did two early albums that are worthy of being called "classic": Sweet baby James, and Mud Slide Slim. The next album, One man Dog, had a very good single from it, but I'm not familiar with the rest of that album.
I lost interest after he started doing covers like Handyman. Seemed to me like he was going for the low hanging fruit.

They only have 1 album, and it's 3 years old, but I'm loving these kids.
All three are musicians, not just singers. Also, they all play more than one instrument.
The bass player is really good, and has a sound I really enjoy.
Their harmonies are really tight. Not surprising, considering they're sisters.

I could only put 1 video in that post, but I wanted to post this one, too.
This is just a small taste of their live show, covering the Fleetwood Mac cut 'Oh Well'.
I'm telling you, these kids can play.

Hourglass & Never Die Young are great albums as well. Funny thing is I never liked his version of Handyman until I heard the live version on the double CD James Taylor Live. It's just a great track. Has a much better vibe than the original cover version.

IMO however the standout song on Mud Slide Slim is "Long Ago and Far Away".
