James Taylor The water is wide Charlottesville

[SweetBalulalow]

I just wanted to mention that, while this is not one of his better-known tunes, it is far from being an obscure one :)  Such a lovely rendition...

[utubuser10]

forty years...james has grown old; i've grown old. the beauty and recklessness of youth now replaced with the introspection and wisdom that (hopefully) comes with age. tired and disillusioned, we continue to row. currents of time and life have invariably steered us off the original trajectory, but yet our sights of getting to the other side remain fixed. and steadfast in that goal our boat will get there no matter how wide the water...

I was at this concert. Did you by chance get a record of the unrecorded "Oh what a beautiful morning?".

Thank you for sharing this live version by one of the greatest singers of my time.. OOooh remember Sweet Baby James when his hair was that of the boys of the 70's..

Time has only improved his voice, as he has mellowed and carries this traditional song.. most beautifully

*sheri*

[Theothecat]

One of his greatest. JT writes and sings material that is truly genius. There is nobody better than James. Love always, Theo.

I love James Taylor - have loved him for almost 40 years now. He never ceases to blow me away.

[janellejones]

BEAUTIFUL - THANK YOU.

Great performance of this traditional. I love the combination of his 'masters' voice an the violin.

[TexasTsunami]

There is an eariler version that is unbelievable. It's on a Karla Bonoff (I think '77) album. It's Karla Bonoff, James Taylor, and JD Souther. You can still get it on her web site, I think.
