When his debut appeared in 1968, James Taylor was the first non-Beatle to release an album on the Fabs' Apple label. Since then, his long, consistent career has been a model of integrity and craft. While he hasn't ventured very far afield as say, his contemporary Joni Mitchell has), Taylor has maintained the gentle, introspective, archetypal singer-songwriter sound he defined over his first couple of albums. Eschewing quantity for quality, he remains a perennial favorite even with infrequent releases of new material. THE BEST OF JAMES TAYLOR is the first collection to combine tracks from his three labels, rounding the set out with the newly recorded "Bittersweet." Though Taylor was among the first to usher in the era of autobiographical singer-songwriters, he also had a number of hits covering others (from Marvin Gaye's "How Sweet it Is" to Carole King's "You've Got a Friend)." The 20 songs here cover the arc of his career, serving to remind that not only do his early recordings remain essential components to the soundtrack of their era, but that Taylor remains one of the smoothest, most agile singers to emerge from the singer/songwriter boom. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  Good CD I bought the CD about a month ago. I have really enjoyed listening to the music. It is very calming and relaxing. The only thing I was surprised at was how many songs I have never heard before. I bought it because it had about 5 songs I recognize and love. But I guess I thought I would recognize more songs because it is the "Best of" his music. Review ID: 10000000007406351 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Best of James taylorI like the CD very much. It arrived in excellent condition, plays as though it was brand new and I saved more than if I had bought it used at the CD store.

Report this review Just Like A ConcertReview created: 10/11/06 by: 2 of 4 people found this review helpful. This cd is just like the concert! We saw him this summer and this was pretty much his line up. It is the very best of sweet baby James all grown up--and he still sounds sweet as ever. The songs include favorites like Fire and Rain, Up On The Roof, Carolina On My Mind. They are classics and he sings them like he's singing to a friend. It would make a thoughtful gift.
