Thread Name: Tune Req: songs by James Taylor (tab)
Subject: RE: James Taylor
This (on good days) singer/composer thinks you're -all- right. JT's vocal range is... um.... unventuresome. He has not only turned some songs into dirges, in recent years he has written some of the most SMARMY, sickly-sweet pretentious new-age/pop swill I've ever heard. But he's written and covered some treasure as well... so he's uneven!

I wish I could be as bad a S/S as JT.

And Don is right: he's the sort of virtuoso guitarist that makes it all look and sound so simple and obvious that the untrained ear thinks it IS simple and obvious. James has forgotten more about the guitar than most of us (especially his detractors) have ever learned
