New James Taylor

So as I said in the previous post, I've been listening to some new James Taylor. I got three of his newer (so coming out in my lifetime) CDs at the Record Exchange for pretty cheap and I've been slowing getting to know his songs. Here are my favorites from each CD.

"New Moon Shine" favorites include "Copperline", "Frozen Man," "Down in the Hole," and "The Water Is Wide"

(This version is slightly slower than the one of the CD, which is more upbeat. But still like it!)

(This song gets stuck in my head like no one's business!)

(Makes me think of that scene in TWW where Leo tells Josh the story of the man in the hole.)

(I've always loved this song and this is just another amazing version.)

"Hourglass"- Favorite songs are "Up Er Mei", "Yellow Rose" and "Boatman"

(I love the lyrics in this one. I don't even know what Up Er Mei is but I can imagine climbing up to the top and just see the most beautiful land ever.)

(My favorite part of this is the harmonies.)

(Fights "Frozen Man" for getting stuck in my head. And I don't mind either.)

(This just makes me laugh- reminds me of something we'd sing at a Hootenany.)

"October Road"- Favorites include "On the 4th of July", "Belfast to Boston", "Baby Buffalo", "My Traveling Star"

(The pictures that this song draws in my head have no words.)

(This is just a sad song. I don't know why I like it so much... song starts at 2:20)

(This reminds me of a song you'd sing to your children, like "Sweet Baby James")

(I love this melody, especially sung by James himself.)

OK, and this is just fun. Love it so much.
