The 2009 James Taylor anthology, Collection: That's Why I'm Here/Never Die Young/JT, brings together three of the legendary singer/songwriter's albums. These are three of his early albums for Columbia beginning with his 1979 classic JT. While that album found Taylor re-investigating the darker themes of his early work, as well as celebrating domestic life with then-partner Carly Simon, the other albums here (1985's That's Why I'm Here and 1988's Never Die Young) are more studio-polished efforts that reveal his transformation into a folky crooner and adult contemporary boomer icon. ~ Matt Collar
