Music Review: A Terrific Mid-Seventies Album By The Extraordinary JT!
Rating: 5 Stars

This particular album is proof positive of Taylor's enduring ability to produce a continuing stream of memorable songs and albums. With breathless ease he delivers with such memorable new songs as "Mexico", "I'm A Fool To Care", and "How Sweet It is". It is even more amazing considering it comes after he had already topped the charts with such extraordinary albums as "Sweet Baby James" and "Mudslide Slim", and it provides convincing evidence that our Sweet Baby James was here to stay. It, like its predecessors, is a very memorable album, and most of us who owned the original vinyl version of this album have upgraded to the CD as it has become available. It seems to showcase different aspects of his talents in that he is much more somber, reflective, and open about his own uncertainties and personal troubles in the songs he sings, and in the delivery as well. It has weathered the ravages of age very well, and it is as welcome on my CD as anything else I can think of. No one sings quite like Taylor, and it is a wonderful album to have playing as you are working your way through a quiet Saturday at home, reading or doing chores or kicking back with a Sam Adams and a few friends. Come on back to a better time, friend; sit on down with us and listen a while. This is vintage James Taylor. How sweet it is!
