Recorded from September 5, 1980-January 18, 1981 at Record One, Los Angeles, California. James Taylor helped pioneer the singer-songwriter movement of the late 1960s with songs of surprising musical sophistication and lyrics that were both introspective and gently poetic. For decades to follow, Taylor continued to produce music that was personal, accessible and enjoyable. Here, he has matured into a pop craftsman of the first order. On DAD LOVES HIS WORK the arc of his talent continues to rise. The radio-friendly "Hard Times" would make Smokey Robinson proud. "Summer's Here" is jazzy, breezy and as warm as the season it celebrates. "Her Town Too," co-written with John David Souther, marked another notch high up on the pop charts for J.T.
