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.

^^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.

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

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.
