Description

A valuable resource for James Taylor fans and a fascinating read for anyone interested in autobiographical popular music of the past 50 years. * Pairs critical analysis of every significant composition and recording by James Taylor with historical perspective on the events of his 50-year life journey * Ties Taylor's highly publicized struggles with drugs and in relationships to his songs * Delves into the not-frequently discussed musical aspects of Taylor's writing, including his use of unusual musical forms * Examines Taylor's arrangements and recordings of cover songs as essentially examples of re-writing the songs
