In the giving credit where it's due dept: I have disliked James Taylor intensly ever since hearing "Carolina On My Mind" the very first time. But his version of "It's Only A Paper Moon" from the soundtrack of "A League Of Their Own", and "Second Star To The Right" from the "Stay Awake" collection are bith quite good.

And say what you will about Tiny Tim's recorded legacy, I have never met anyone with a greater knowledge of American Popular Song from 1890-1920.

I still cant find anything positive to say about Neil Young's music though.
