JT

This was the first James Taylor album I ever herd and I still listen to it, it's absolutely amazing !

It saddens me to know that the best years for singer songwriters are long behind us. However we do still gems like these to keep alive as it were, to keep us going forward. Thank you James Taylor for this incredible album, you are indeed a living great.

The song that drew me to this album is the least popular, yet so enormously poignant for those moments of life when you just don’t feel like a smile or much of anything. He captures the title so eloquently, as a writer, I find him unequalled in his songwriting prowess…. “The clouds put their heads on the ground, she’s going to have to come down.” “She said make me angry, or just make me cry…no more grey morning I think I’d rather die” Now that’s grey as we all have known it I am sure! simply excellent understated album—still my favorite JT of all.

I wore this album out when I was going to college. It had a big influence on me. Really wonderful music that brings back so many great memories.

James and I are the same age and I literally grew up with his music. I have seen him numerous times and he has aged (as we all have) but his sounds are still the same clear toned beauties that they alway have been. My favorite on this album is "Bartender's Blues" and I am so glad I found this on ITunes. The funny thing about going to a JT concert even now is that the audience is such a mixture of old and young. He is just as loved by the younger generation as with us old fogies. Hang in there JT. We love you.

My mother used to sing "There we are" to my brothers and I every night at bedtime for years. I cry whenever I listen to that beautiful song. This album means a lot to me.

The angels must have been visitng the studio when these songs were recorded. The playing, the engineering, and the singing are almost other-worldly. Of course none of these things would add up to much if the songs weren't great...and they are. Another Grey Morning, one of James' all time greatest vocals as well as one of his most moving songs, is as sad a portrait of a woman battling with her inner demons as you're ever likely to hear in a pop song. Handy Man, an enormous hit, is also one of James' cleverest covers, and Carly Simon's vocals on Terra Nova are wondeful. Looking For Love on B'way is another miniature masterpiece (Kunkel and Sklar are amazing), and Honey Don't Leave LA and Telling a Lie are two of James' most convincing rockers. Truly one of the best pop records ever made.

Yup - - been listening to this album since it first came out and I still love it. Never tire of it. iTunes reviewers consistently bash James Taylor, but he's still got a lot of fans that enjoy his sound and his music. Keep 'em comin', JT!

I grew up with James Taylor's music as well as a few others, but his lyrics and just the way his songs seem to get to that part of you that really needs to hear them is great (if that makes any sense at all). This is a great album that takes me right back to being a kid and listening to my Dad play these on the big stereo in the living room. Just amazing.
