Music reviews of James Taylor (Live)
Music Review: A Master at the Top of His Game
Rating: 5 Stars
The best studio albums have something to recommend about them: the artist and the mixers can make the recordings just as perfect as possible - mixing the various tracks to blend perfectly, and editing and re-recording any mistakes.
Still - live shows always have an appeal that can't be recreated in a studio. Something about performing live, especially in front of an appreciative audience, inspires musicians to heights that are difficult to reach in the more sterile recording studio.
That being said, "Live" albums are notorious for not quite capturing the experience of actually being at the concert. James Taylor (Live), recorded during his Fall Tour of 1992, masterfully dodges limitations that plague many recordings.
First of all - the recordings are incredibly good, with the mix reflecting the notoriously talented and tight band that Mr. Taylor always has at his disposal. A perfectionist universally respected in the biz, James Taylor is in a class all by himself among singer-songwriters: he can call upon enough talented musicians to flesh out TWO grammy-level bands, and while he gives everyone a place to shine within the structure of a concert, they all know that they are there to make James and his music sound as good as possible.
Second of all - this live concert, like an actual JT concert - is extremely generous in the amount of music available. With two 15 song discs most of his best known songs (up to 1992) are splendidly represented. Among the 30 tracks are one of my favorite renditions of "Carolina in my Mind", plus exceptional versions of "Sweet Baby James", "Fire and Rain", "You've Got A Friend", "How Sweet It is", "Up On The Roof", "Something In The Way She Moves" and many others.
He is also known for superb covers (thus his two recent projects consisting entirely of cover songs). It is an embarrassment of riches that perhaps the quintessential song writer blesses us with that velvety voice on other's songs as well. In this project he gives an absolutely scintillating version of George Jones' classic "She Thinks I Still Care" and one of the best things about this live recording is listening to his introduction of the song - he says George Jones sings the song so well "it makes you weep, makes your dog weep, and makes your roof leak. It's pathetic!" Then he unleashes a version so good it would make George Jones weep tears of joy.
If you don't have any James Taylor in your collection - why not? And if you're only going to have ONE in your collection... this wouldn't be a bad one.
Description of James Taylor (Live)
Our Seller Notes and Fine Print Department :..This is afrom Columbia on the fat box on TWO CD in very good shape, .comes with booklet,A sweeping, 30-track career retrospective that leaves almost nothing out, Live is a much more filling meal than the two-part Best Live series, each of which contains 12 tracks. Fans will want one or the other of these packages, and will need no further elaboration on their merits. But those who just want a sampler of Taylor's hit songs might want to check this out as well. The best greatest hits package, Classic Songs, is an import, and costs a premium. The domestic Greatest Hits was compiled in 1976, and misses later tracks. It also features rerecorded versions of some of its songs. This is a better value than the import and offers a better selection than the domestic sampler. --Gavin McNett
