Recording Studios, Hollywood, California between 1969 & 1976. What self-respecting '70s pop music fan's collection would be complete without James Taylor's GREATEST HITS? Not many, apparently, since it is one of the biggest selling catalog titles of all time. All of Taylor's huge hits from the first, and possibly most acclaimed, leg of his long career are included. "Fire And Rain," "You've Got A Friend," "Sweet Baby James" and "How Sweet It Is" sound as golden as the day they were first heard on the radio. Interestingly, two of the songs here, "Something In the Way She Moves" and "Carolina In My Mind" from Taylor's first album have been re-recorded especially for this collection. Special guests like Carole King, Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, David Crosby and David Sanborn add an extra special something to the atmosphere. Listening to these songs together in one collection takes you back to a gentler time when a carefully crafted song was a thing of beauty and not just a product to be marketed like so many shiny trinkets. If you are among the few who don't already own this special collection, what are you waiting for? | Find errors in the product description? Submit a catalog update request now. | ||||||||||||
Reviews Review created: 10/04/08 by: All the best hits of James Taylor on one CD. Love it. Bought it because instead of buying several of an artist's CD's to get the songs I love the most-they are all on the same CD in one place. I do that with a lot of music artists.

I also purchased greatest Hits Vol 2(also great). This is where, just listening, takes you back. Review ID: 10000000007617751 Was this review helpful? Report this review Listening to James Taylor, with his cool and refreshing sound, not to mention the astoundingly well written lyrics, is a chance to sit back and relax. Taylor is an amazing musician and this CD has a handful of his greatest hits, all of which are wonderful! Review ID: 10000000007409119 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
