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.
Album Description

 J T disappointment January 1, 2010
Kathleen A. Gadbury (Cheyenne, wyo USA)
This CD is probably my least favorite of James Taylor. And I LOVE James Taylor.
A few good songs are on it, but it is not one I reach for to listen to over and over again.
 Familiar Covers December 8, 2009
Honesty (Westover, WV USA)
I've been listening to and watching JT since I was an undergrad at NC State in the mid-seventies. While I've never seen him live on stage, I have watched all of his concert videos. Many of these covers are songs he has sung on stage, so they will be familiar to his "true" fans. If you love JT, you'll be happy with this album...'cuse me, CD.

This album is a bad idea and even worse product. JT should have stuck with a studio album with all of his good folk songs. That's really what we all want to hear. His new songs are boring and predictable. He's changed his voice too. He now sounds too sweet and soft spoken. Go back to the old folk singer voice JT. The band is way too big. He doesn't really need piano, strings, horns, female singers, etc. Ditch the band and go solo in concert and record it for the 2009 tour. Just stick to the basics that made you great JT.

there has never been an album put out by this man that I have regretted purchasing. Until this one. I won't buy the second. I hope he gets this out of his system and goes back to doing his own stuff, or finds songs to cover that suit his style more. These weren't it.
