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.

 Mr. J.T. Himself! November 29, 2008
S. DeAngelo (SF Bay Area, CA, USA)
What's not to love about this enduring and masterful artist? His mellow voice, gentleness and kindness come through his music every time!!! "Covers" is a great compiliation of songs touched by his sensational voice. He will forever be our "Sweet Baby James" . . . don't miss out on this one!
JT's the BEST! November 25, 2008
Ford Jacka (Louisiana)
I don't thing JT could come out with an album I didn't like. This one doesn't grab me the way October Road does but his music has a way of growing on you over time. I expect I'll like this one more and more over the years to come. For a JT fan, you've got to have it, along with every other CD he's ever done.

I ordered this for my sister's birthday, and helped make her 67th a happy one! (I already had my own copy, which is terrific, of course.)

One of my favorite albums by James Taylor. Took some old songs and made them his own. If you like James Taylor then this is a must for your collection.

Not a big James Taylor fan anymore, but had to check it out because of the Jennie Stearns song, Seminole Wind. I was not impressed with James' version. If you want to hear a good version of it check out Donna the Buffalo, Rockin in the Weary Land, their version is the best. Jennie Stearns was in DTB in the early years, but I believe Joe Thrift sings it on the DTB album.
