Over the course of a 45-year career, James Taylor has cultivated a profound, intimate friendship, not just with the characters who populate his songs, but with his legions of fans. As immediately accessible as those songs are, there is always more going on in them than meets the ear on first listen. The Essential James Taylor is a collection of recordings that define a generation.’ (Adapted from the liner notes by Anthony DeCurtis)
James Taylor is the quintessential singer-songwriter. A hugely influential recording and touring artist, he has sold more than 100 million records (and counting) during a career that began in 1969 when he signed to the Beatles’ Apple Records.
Rhino has assembled a double-disc collection that features his biggest hits and best-loved songs from every stage of his illustrious career, which includes 10 platinum records and five Grammy awards. THE ESSENTIAL JAMES TAYLOR will be available on September 11.
