NEW ALBUM: James Taylor - American Standard - Music Head - 13-03-2020 enters the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart at #4 courtesy of Spotify from North Carolina 20th album surprised this hasn't been posted or did I miss it? use to not care for these standards covers things have changed like age I appreciated them more now real music, real lyrics good job James fav RE: NEW ALBUM: James Taylor - American Standard - CRAZY-HORSE - 13-03-2020 for some reason I always thought JT was a Canadian, no, the album hasn't been previously posted. I was, for some reason, expecting Ruby to do so, she didn't. listened to your linked track, I liked it. James' voice is still silky smooth after all these decades time has been good to him. think I might have to give the album a listen this week. RE: NEW ALBUM: James Taylor - American Standard - Ruby - 14-03-2020 ^^I might have posted this one - had been watching for the release, but to add insult to injury, we had an increase in the load shedding schedule this week. So annoying! This time due allegedly due to jellyfish clogging up the pumps at the big nuclear power station on the coast. Not exactly comforting.  I'll have a listen. RE: NEW ALBUM: James Taylor - American Standard - CRAZY-HORSE - 15-03-2020 i listened. nice song selection, I only knew four or five of them. not sure i'd buy it unless it was in a discount bin but gorgeous all the same this is what Neil Young's "a letter home" should have and could have sounded like had he not been intent on trying to be innovative with retro recording processes! good stuff Mr-T RE: NEW ALBUM: James Taylor - American Standard - Jerome - 15-03-2020 One of my favourite Taylor tracks https://youtu.be/n18qlq5uNpk And another fave - brilliant live version https://youtu.be/5wXc8CnVr7g And another - brilliant lyrics - https://youtu.be/OKEC5oXObXM Lovely stuff - https://youtu.be/X384_BZ0HZI Just listen to the drummer on this one - fantastic - https://youtu.be/iZbDZYRF5cQ RE: NEW ALBUM: James Taylor - American Standard - CRAZY-HORSE - 15-03-2020 im a bigger fan of his live performances than his studio recordings. RE: NEW ALBUM: James Taylor - American Standard - Jerome - 15-03-2020 Crazy - The Double CD James Taylor Live is a must for your collection - not a bad track on it. And the live recording is excellent. You get a real sense of being there. RE: NEW ALBUM: James Taylor - American Standard - CRAZY-HORSE - 15-03-2020 already have it mate great album
