JT finds a young James Taylor using a wide variety of molds into which he pours his folksy, easy-going style. His considerable songwriting skills are in full bloom, beginning with the jubilant "Your Smiling Face." Some very different ground is explored, however, with the funky "Honey, Don't Leave L.A." and the authentic country of "Bartender's Blues," on which Taylor gets a little help from Linda Ronstadt.
It's his relationship with Carly Simon, though, that provides the fuel for Taylor's trademark lighter-than-air styling on "There We Are," "Another Grey Morning" and "Terra Nova," where Simon herself contributes a fine vocal performance. Taylor's lovely "Secret O' Life" is worth the price of admission for any singer-songwriter enthusiast. Other points of interest include Taylor's cover of the Jimmy Jones hit "Handyman" and the jazzy "Traffic Jam." Besides his GREATEST HITS package, this is one of J.T.'s most definitive works.

      My Favorite James Taylor Disc
    Review created: 10/28/07
    by:

    If you are a fan of James Taylor (the REAL JT) then you have to have this disc. It highlights an artist hitting his stride and really getting comfortable in the studio. There is a lot of creativity on this disc with some incredible songs. Everybody knows "Your Smiling Face" but "Secret o' Life" and "If I Keep My Heart Out of Sight" all deserve their time in the sun.

    If you are only familiar with James Taylor's hits, then I highly recommend this disc. Shoot, I recommend this regardless!
