One Man Band

by
James Taylor
Don't take the title of James Taylor's One Man Band literally -- this 2007 concert recording may be stripped-down but it's not just James and a guitar, he's supported by keyboardist Larry Goldings, whom Taylor dubs his "one-man band" in the liner notes, as that's all the backing band he has here. Fair enough. But this isn't just a question of ...

James Taylor
To compile a comprehensive one-disc best-of James Taylor album is a daunting task in and of itself. To compile it from material from three labels is a gutsy thing for David McLees and Warner Bros. to do and expect to make fans -- let alone pompous critics (no exception here) -- happy. Over 20 tracks, Warner has succeeded -- with full cooperation ...

James Taylor had scored eight Top 40 hits by the fall of 1976 when Warner Brothers marked the end of his contract with this compilation. One of those hits, the Top Ten gold single "Mockingbird," a duet with his wife Carly Simon, was on Elektra Records, part of the Warner family of labels and presumably available, but it was left off.

James Taylor's seventh album and last new recording for Warner Bros. is notable for producing his biggest self-written hit in four years, "Shower the People" (number 22 pop, number one easy listening). Bobby Womack's "Woman's Gotta Have It" was the album's only cover, and elsewhere Taylor took on a surprisingly rough set of issues in his typically ...

Covers albums tend to be dashed off as a way to fulfill an artist's last remaining contractual obligation to his or her label. However, Playlist is Babyface's first release for Mercury, following 2005's Grown & Sexy, and he put a lot of heart and soul into the material, all of which connected with him as a youngster listening to '70s AM radio. ...

Showcasing a new lineup (which now includes Rupert Tripp, Jr.), Deeper Blue involves much of the same basic styling as Kohala's previous work. There's a bit more emphasis placed on the stylistic mix of the three guitarists now however, with some interplay between lead guitarist Charles Michael Brotman and his nylon-stringed classical approach, and ...

Women's music stalwart Cris Williamson turns in a varied set of Christmas-related music, some of it original, and not all of it, by any means, sunny. She tends to focus on the more secular aspects of the seasonal celebration, especially its message of peace, although, as the title suggests, the idea of angels doesn't bother her. There are ...

With the right producer and the right guidance from an A&R person, Kevyn Lettau might have recorded a truly strong album for JVC in the '90s. But JVC wanted to make sure that the singer enjoyed as much airplay on NAC radio as possible; so her JVC output, although generally likable, wasn't as risk-taking or as interesting as it should have been.

Recorded over four years, dance queen Kristine W's sophomore album is a strong mix of pop and A/C-flavored R&B. What's funny, though, is that the stronger material is not the club music for which she is known. The dance cuts on this album are standard at best. Of course, they aren't so much for pop fans as they are for club crawlers who'll ...
