James Taylor


 Here we have a comparison of a singer 48 years apart !!.....firstly we have a recording from 1972 then by the magic of recording we jump to 2020 and hear some great songs sung very well......I wonder if James ever though that in the distant future he would be singing standards   

 I think that this L/P was about the first one from James Taylor in the early 70's....he certainly looks different these days still I reckon we all must do after 40 odd years !!....he has quite a few well known  backing singers on this one....Now who's heard of "Carol King" and "Carly Simon" not forgetting "Linda Ronstadt " !!! Don't all shout at once my speakers wont take it !!!.....Back to the record...most of the tracks James wrote himself and the last 4 tracks are all joined together...no gaps in the tracks !!!..soooooooo listen to a good chunk of 70's nostalgia music !!...Tracks 7/8/9/10 on side two are recorded as one track !!

One Man Dog is the fourth studio album by singer-songwriter James Taylor. Released on November 1, 1972, it features the hit "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight", which peaked at number 14 on the Billboard charts on January 13, 1973. The follow-up single, "One Man Parade", also charted but less successfully, peaking at number 67 in the US and reaching number 55 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart. The basic tracks were primarily recorded in Taylor's home studio.
The album is made up of 18 short pieces strung together. It climbed to number 4 on the US Billboard Pop Albums chart.
