Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Covers is the cd that James Taylor fans have been anticipating for years. Recorded live with his full band in a barn in Massachusetts that was transformed into a studio, the album is a treasury of songs he has performed live over the years, but never recorded. It is an American songbook of tunes made famous by artists as varied Buddy Holly, The Dixie Chicks, The Temptations, Leonard Cohen, George Jones and Eddie Cochran, but embraced and interpreted by James Taylor in a way that makes each one his own. It is a significant work by one of the greatest artists of his generation, which pays tribute to classic American songs from Broadway to Nashville, Detroit to Memphis and across all boundaries. Covers is in itself a classic James Taylor recording.

- JT's Worst AlbumJT has been one of my great musical heroes for over 30 years. There are plenty of JT songs and covers found elsewhere that are uniquely beautiful reflections of human emotion. Sadly, in this album, all cuts are vastly better in the original, even (and perhaps especially) Glen Campbell's yearning classic, Wichita Lineman. The album sounds like "The Musical Stylings of James Taylor: Tonight at the Holiday Inn Lounge". The concept probably sounded like a good idea when he thought it up, but unfortunately, ... Read More

- Taylor "Rocks", America Shops!Step 1: Put a guy with a great voice in a room full of top-notch musicians ranging from Larry Goldings to Yo-Yo Ma.
Step 2: Stuff them so full of Prozac that everyone is happy and mellow.
Step 3: Hand them a book full of standards and hit record.
Step 4: Profit!
I'm not sure this is exactly how it happened, but it's close enough for our purposes. Taylor has good, if uninspired, taste in songs. And it's downright supernatural that his voice sounds this great at age 60. But a style ... Read More

- Delicious!Covers is such a "tasty" piece of music that is makes my ears water! James Taylor continues to get better and better the longer he goes. One doesn't have to be a JT fan to enjoy this CD, it's a pretty good time for all.

- Covers by James TaylorOh, hell, the Covers CD is longer on the QVC version. QVC paid JT to add 4 more songs, which makes it a full CD if you can find the QVC version. I tried going through QVC, but it's sold out (no wait list). As much as I love JT, the capitalist side of him bummed me out because I would expect the 16-songs version to be available as the original CD. But, as a song says, "Money makes the world go round". Sing that one, JT.
Rating:
- Very Good....but not a ClassicWhat can I say...JT can sing anything and make it sound good. I knocked a star off the rating as a couple of the "Covers" doesn't quite work. This is a very good cd that will please all the JT fans out there. I saw him live a couple of years ago and he performed a couple of the tracks (Why Baby Why and Hound Dog). His band sounds great on this cd as well. Check it out!
