propose again an old post today to remind James Taylor, who has just turned 63 years, having been born March 12, 1948 in Belmont, USA. James Taylor was the most famous of the singer-songwriter who attacked the cliche 'of folk-singer in the 70s .
prototype cultured and creative singer-songwriter of the '70s, Taylor is never able to fully exploit this intuition.
Taylor made his debut in New York in the Flying Machine, whose recordings of 1967 will be collected on "The Original Flying Machine" (1971).
James Taylor's career is always been tormented because of his personal misfortunes (the first in a psychiatric hospital and then drug addict), and the songs (which goes well with the acoustic guitar drawing inspiration from jazz and rhythm and blues) reflect his inner neurosis.
After a first album, "James Taylor" (1969), without keeping ballads arranged with painstaking care, on which stood "Carolina On My Mind" and "Something In The Way She Moves", you say `with" Sweet Baby James "(1970), where his versatile vocal timbre, his guitar technique and pianist Carole King sentimental contribute to chisel the poignant "Sweet Baby James," "Fire And Rain," "Country Road".
"Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon" (1971), which uses John Hartford, Richard Greene, he still had "You Can Close Your Eyes" and "Long Ago And Far Away," but it was already much lower.
"You've Got A Friend", the King, `places it topped the charts, and fame increased after the much talked about 'marriage to Carly Simon , and their duet" Mockinbird "(1974).
In reality the fragmentary "One Man Dog" (1972) and "Walking Man" (1973) had much lowered its prices, and the tone of domestic "Gorilla" (1975), with the ironic "Mexico", betrayed the intellectual limits of the character.
From "In The Pocket" (1976), with "Shower The People", Taylor was re-defining itself as a sophisticated interpreter of orchestral songs, including covers of rhythm and blues.
The conversion to easy-listening the result is a platinum album, "JT" (1977), with "Handy Man". "Flag" (1979) looks like a collection of leftovers from the previous album.
"Dad Loves His Work" (1981), "That's Why I'm Here" (1985) and "Never Die Young" (1987), continued the descent into a sophisticated pop.
Best "New Moon Shine" (1991), which brings him back to some thrilling atmosphere.
"Hourglass" (1997) and is also more sophisticated, although 'now has little or nothing in common with the folk or rock.
style autumn of these discs is sublimated to "October Road" (2002), which looks like an old testament on his deathbed.
"Greatest Hits" (1976) collects the hits of the golden age.
