Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to modernize his sound, James Taylor enlisted producer David Spinozza for this slicker, more highly orchestrated folk-pop outing. Featuring a notable roster of session heavyweights, including Paul and Linda McCartney, the album offers a mellow, polished refinement of his signature acoustic introspection.
