James Taylor "Musical Influences"—Carnegie Hall, 5 of 9

For his "Roots" concert at Carnegie Hall on April 20—the second of his "Perspectives" series—James Taylor is joined by a host of special guests—Robert Cray, Jerry Douglas, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Danny Kortchmar, and Alison Krauss—to spotlight the variety of influences that have shaped his music.

Here, Taylor discusses the music he grew up listening to—from bluegrass and blues to church hymns—and outlines what the audience can expect to hear at that concert.
