James Taylor Taylor at the October 16, 2011, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial dedication concert James Taylor performing with Vince Gill and Amy Grant at Tanglewood in 2011 Taylor and Carole King performing "You've Got a Friend" together during their Troubadour Reunion Tour in 2010. Taylor in the early 1970s Wikipedia: James Vernon Taylor (born March 12, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. A five-time Grammy Award winner, Taylor was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. Taylor achieved his breakthrough in 1970 with the No. 3 single "Fire and Rain" and had his first No. 1 hit the following year with "You've Got a Friend", a recording of Carole King's classic song. His 1976 Greatest Hits album was certified Diamond and has sold 12 million US copies. Following his 1977 album, JT, he has retained a large audience over the decades. His commercial achievements declined slightly until a resurgence during the late 1990s and 2000s, when he recorded some of his best-selling and most-awarded work (including Hourglass, October Road and Covers). He achieved his first number one album in the US in 2015 with his recording Before This World. Hourglass Released May 20, 1997 Recorded December 1996 Chalker's Creek, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts Westlake Audio, West Hollywood, California Right Track Studios, New York City Genre Rock, folk, country pop Length 51:51 Label Columbia Producer Frank Filipetti, James Taylor Hourglass is singer-songwriter James Taylor's fourteenth album. Taylor's first studio album in six years was released in 1997 to glowing notices. It built upon the success of his previous effort, New Moon Shine. Hourglass was an introspective album that earned Taylor his best critical reviews in almost twenty years. The album's lyrics focused largely on Taylor's troubled past and family. "Jump Up Behind Me" paid tribute to his father's rescue of him after The Flying Machine days, and the long drive from New York City back to his home in Chapel Hill. "Enough to Be On Your Way" was inspired by the alcoholism-related death of his brother Alex earlier in the decade. The themes were also inspired by Taylor's divorce from actress Kathryn Walker, which took place in 1996. Rolling Stone found that "one of the themes of this record is disbelief", while Taylor told the magazine that it was "spirituals for agnostics." Critics embraced the dark themes on the album, and Hourglass was a huge commercial success, reaching #9 on the Billboard 200 (Taylor's first Top 10 album in sixteen years) and also provided a big adult contemporary hit on "Little More Time With You". The album also gave Taylor his first Grammy since JT, when he was honored with Best Pop Album in 1998. 1 Line 'em Up 4:45 2 Enough to Be on Your Way 5:29 3 Little More Time With You 3:53 4 Gaia 5:32 5 Ananas 5:45 6 Jump Up Behind Me 3:30 7 Another Day 2:23 8 Up Er Mei 3:49 9 Up From Your Life 5:17 10 Yellow and Rose 4:55 11 Boatman 3:59 12 Walking My Baby Back Home 3:13 13 Hangnail 2:22 Personnel: James Taylor – guitar, harmonica, vocals Michael Brecker – tenor saxophone, EWI Clifford Carter – keyboards Valerie Carter – vocals Shawn Colvin – vocals Luis Conte – percussion Jill Dell'Abate – vocals Dan Dugmore – pedal steel guitar Jimmy Johnson – bass David Lasley – vocals Bobby Mann – guitar Kate Markowitz – vocals Yo-Yo Ma – cello Branford Marsalis – soprano and alto saxophones Arnold McCuller – vocals Edgar Meyer – bass Mark O'Connor – fiddle Ed Rockett - penny whistle Sting – vocals Ross Traut – guitar Carlos Vega – drums Stevie Wonder – harmonica produced by Frank Filipetti mastered by Ted Jensen ENJOY!
