there are guys in my neighborhood that would kiss Alison Krauss right in the mouth... I mean in the mouth on the first date... not just the mouth but several other places that she may be fond of... What an electric female.. everything she does, does something for me... She is a national treasure... we are privilaged to live in a time when we can hear her sing from a thousand miles away.. Thank you lord for Alison Krauss...

@Pawlzee not just because is no S &G is because it sounds like another song is not the bohert I know and think is one of thebest of S & G Isaid I woul have liked if I
would'nt have heatd the original....Allison sing in a duet with some other woman (dont remenber the name ) and that's really beautiful as the S & G anyway I respect your opinion
I Don't like it at all ..maybe if I woud'nt have heard the original Paul and Art Iwould have liked it because the song is great ,but this is the worst version of all the others Ive heard.. tey changed the harmony of ehe voices and sounds like a diferent melody this is just my point of you I respect yours
@master72734 I really like James and Allison but I have to agree for the most part. Great song like this needs to stay same on the two parts as far as timing and parts remaining equally harmonious without being completely congruent. My point of you too.
@master72734 I lived during the time of S$G. This rendition has the alternative harmony's that S&G didn't have the freedom to try. They were signed to a label and HAD to make a song that would fit the expectations of the popular vote. I'm absolutely sure they tried other arrangements but sadly those didn't get recorded. Allison has an amazing ability to harmonize with (probably) anybody and is really a refreshing voice to an otherwise worn out song. ymmv
Sorry, but she kicks his ass. Sweet Baby James has done nothing to move him forward in 30 years, at least that I've heard. Maybe he can tour with Carole King, though she has done a little.
@Aerohog1 Although I like Alison Krauss, you've obviously not been paying attention if you think that JT has done NOTHING in the past 30 years. At least go listen to October Road and then go listen to the dozens other duets he's done in the past 10 years before you make such an uninformed statement.
@bobmon54 .....and duck breath???? is that really the best you could come up with.....how do you know what a duck's breathe smells like? Need to get out more and leave those animals alone!
This is truly beautiful - harmonies are just spellbinding and not so simplistic as the original - James Taylor and Alison Krauss you cant really go wrong can you - both amazing !!!
I wonder what it's like to be Paul Simon and to have written several of the best songs ever written... The Boxer -"Greatest song ever written!" Bridge Over Troubled..."Greatest song ever..." Homeward Bound "Oh! Greatest song..." American Tune - "Oh, now jeez - best song ever written!" Hah. Paul Simons don't come along very often.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written, and while nothing will ever match to original, this is a great rendition. Can't argue with James Taylor playing a Paul Simon song.
James has talked about his nervousness in front of crowds before , he is no where near as petrified as Barba Streistand (who refused to perform live for years) .You can hear James fumble many of his verbal intros (introducing the songs ) on many occasions. This song was performed poorly in contrast to Garfunkles . Just listen criticaly . I love James dont get me wrong.
@bcrawfordj9 im sorry, but JT? stagefright? dude knows what he is doing. perhaps his tempo didnt rub you right, but that is the artistic nature of a cover. he was not nervous.
Alison Kraus is, IMO, one of the genius voices of our generation. James Taylor is the blueprint and if it's possible his voice, power and character keep getting better year after year...
@rainmaneverson you're 100% .. I'm listening to Alison for my 1st time today, but I've been a great fan of JT for exactly 36 years by now (true). I admit if I played guitar reasonably (in my life) I own it to him. And his voice & guitar don't know the meaning of "agin'".. I guarantee . Kepp on rocking JT and thank you !
This is from the Kennedy Center Honors for Paul Simon. I personally didn't care for the AK/Shawn Colvin one as much, even though Alison was much more heavily featured.
Outstanding ! both !

woman's beautiful, beautiful voice. Out of respect for this video (the artists
and fans) - I won't mention her name. But I put some of her other work in
my different parts of my channel (but go to Itunes to just hear even more -
they let you hear a sample - you don't have to buy anything if you don't want
to). Take care and enjoy.
