@DRpokeme There's a really good DVD called the Songwriters. It's many of the old Brill Building writers- Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Ellie Grenwich, (Neil Sedaka?), Burt Bacharach...

@djebat88 i'm sure he does too.

C'mon James just say the state of song writing today....SUCKS.

A fine musician, songsmith, vocalist and human being.
He's learned how to find, trust and lay back in the groove.
Anytime I hear one of his songs it's like running into an old best friend and remembering the past or listening to a tale about his current life, all the while he is more curious about your life.
Way down here, we need a reason to move.

He's right on about the current state of songwriting. We need to follow his lead and get back to endorsing just plain ol' good songs sung well -- not this syrupy, overly-simplistic 3-chord junk that is sold w/silicone boobs and equally plastic dance moves.

I'd like to see Carol King interview him or maybe Carly. Now that would be an interview..I'll be looking for that CD.

@ejgiv Why would you say that? James Taylor shouldn't be considered overrated because he writes songs, or reinterprets other peoples songs in ways that alot of people like. I can understand if you are an emotionless hunk of crap that listens to things like today's so called "music" and lives in his parents basement, thats a good reason not to LISTEN to James Taylor. But his songs stir a large amount of the population emotionally, and his music has changed the lives of many. Overated? I say no.

James has so much talent & is based on so much on emotion & experiences throughout his life that it's a difficult task for a normal guy to know what he should ask & why...

I like when he had long hair.
oh we really don't need to defend James. You love him or he's ok. i don't think anybody hates him. this is a fun album of songs. i have always said that i would buy james singing the phone book. and i will.
