Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Covers is the cd that James Taylor fans have been anticipating for years. Recorded live with his full band in a barn in Massachusetts that was transformed into a studio, the album is a treasury of songs he has performed live over the years, but never recorded. It is an American songbook of tunes made famous by artists as varied Buddy Holly, The Dixie Chicks, The Temptations, Leonard Cohen, George Jones and Eddie Cochran, but embraced and interpreted by James Taylor in a way that makes each one his own. It is a significant work by one of the greatest artists of his generation, which pays tribute to classic American songs from Broadway to Nashville, Detroit to Memphis and across all boundaries. Covers is in itself a classic James Taylor recording.




Rating: - James Taylor CD
I ordered this for my sister's birthday, and helped make her 67th a happy one! (I already had my own copy, which is terrific, of course.)

One of my favorite albums by James Taylor. Took some old songs and made them his own. If you like James Taylor then this is a must for your collection.

Not a big James Taylor fan anymore, but had to check it out because of the Jennie Stearns song, Seminole Wind. I was not impressed with James' version. If you want to hear a good version of it check out Donna the Buffalo, Rockin in the Weary Land, their version is the best. Jennie Stearns was in DTB in the early years, but I believe Joe Thrift sings it on the DTB album.

More than 30-year crush aside, I can objectively state that this cd is obviously the most fun Taylor has had in a long time. And you WILL feel it. When Obama's grandmother died I thought of the soulful version of "Sadie" on here (and wrote to the president-elect to listen to it for comfort); when my husband made me cry again I disappeared and cranked up "Some Days You Gotta Dance" in my room, and there is never a time I wouldn't want to listen to his cover of Glen Campbell's touching "Wichita Lineman." ...

Rating: - Boring
sounds like he made this up the day before the cd was to be released. Very boring stuff, aside from wichita lineman which is decent. Just wasnt appealing to me. no real hits at all. Just an opinion of course.
