Personnel: James Taylor (vocals, guitars, harmonica); Andrea Zonn (vocals, fiddle); David Lasley, Caroline Taylor , Kate Markowitz, Arnold McCuller (vocals); Michael Landau (electric guitar); Yo-Yo Ma (cello); Lou Marini (flute, clarinet, saxophone); Walt Fowler (trumpet, flugelhorn, keyboards); Larry Goldings (piano, electric piano, organ); Jeff Babko (piano, organ); Jimmy Johnson (bass instrument); Steve Gadd (drums); Luis Conte (percussion). Audio Mixer: Dave O'Donnell . Arrangers: James Taylor ; Larry Goldings; Lou Marini; Walt Fowler ; Yo-Yo Ma. James Taylor has never been afraid of covers--some of his biggest hits include relaxed versions of the soul classics "How Sweet It Is" and "Handy Man," as well as his sensitive acoustic take on Carole King's "You've Got A Friend"--but COVERS is his first album consisting entirely of other people's songs. Recorded live-to-tape with his 11-piece touring band, these 12 songs range from playful takes on early rock and R&B classics like Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" and the Drifters' "On Broadway" to graceful versions of songs by contemporaries like Jimmy Webb ("Wichita Lineman") and Leonard Cohen ("Suzanne"). It's a fresh, relaxed, and endearing take on the often-tired covers album concept.

商品の紹介

Rolling Stone (p.71) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] great singer-songwriter playing DJ, showcasing songs he loves for listeners who love him." Mojo (Publisher) (p.101) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[M]ainly a joyous affair, good-timey in a well structured way and often reminiscent of the kind of thing Johnny Rivers used to dispense at the start of the '70s."

A cozy companion to One Man Band, James Taylor's 2007 intimate stroll through his back pages for Starbucks' Hear Music, Covers once again finds the singer/songwriter on familiar, friendly territory, as he returns to his easy rolling full band and digs into the songbook of the rock & roll era. It's his era, of course, the time he had hit singles, including many hit cover versions, as he points out himself in his brief liner notes to the album. All of this makes Covers feel perhaps even more comfortable than One Man Band, which had the distinction of its unique guitar-and-piano arrangements, something that made his hits sound relatively fresh. Here, standards -- and despite a couple of oddball choices like the Spinners' "Sadie," John Anderson's "Seminole Wind," and the only modern song here, the Dixie Chicks' "Some Days You Gotta Dance," this is all standards like "Wichita Lineman," "Suzanne," "Hound Dog," "On Broadway," "Summertime Blues," and "Not Fade Away" -- are given Taylor's warm, mellow signature, so Covers winds up feeling a bit like an outdoor concert on a sunny summer Sunday afternoon: something that is wholly relaxing and not in the least surprising. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

円熟を極めた大御所、ジェイムズ・テイラーより極上のカヴァー・アルバムが届けられた。レナード・コーエンやジミー・ウェッブらが紡いだ通好みの名曲を、ほんのりと哀愁を漂わせつつも心温まるお馴染みの〈JT節〉で味わい深～く聴かせてくれる。その一方、エルヴィス・プレスリー“Hound Dog”では珍しくロッキンな表情を披露していたりも!　個人的にはスピナーズ“Sadie”があまりにも素晴らしすぎて……ひたすら涙です。
