This is splendid. I love James Taylor and I knew he had a troubled past but wow, there were a lot of addiction episodes coupled with a resting state of elevated fragility I wasn’t aware of. In hearing the covers of “fire and rain” I was bummed to see that Eva Cassidy never did a cover! That would have been lovely. She had the voice of an angel.
I suspect that people may have avoided doing a cover because it's quite melancholy and also hard to compete with JT doing it on acoustic guitar. Quite perfection.
It's wonderful to see how well his life has turned out and how happy he seems. He's certainly earned it.

The story of JT getting Carole to sing on stage is in my upcoming book music history book for teens! Such a good story.
Please let me know when your book comes out!
Agree, such a heartwarming story. He seems like a really good dude.
I can also share a story about his mistress from the 1990s that’s funny. 🙂
Yes please!
