I lost interest after he started doing covers like Handyman. Seemed to me like he was going for the low hanging fruit.
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.
