James Taylor has one of the all-time great pop voices and is a fantastic songwriter. These are his early hits. 'Nuff said.
Album chart peaks:
- US Billboard Top 200: #23
- CashBox: #13
Tracks: Love 'em all and can sing along with James on all the tracks (even if I have to make up my own lyrics every now and then).

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: If you grew up on AM radio in the '70s like I did, all these songs bring back good memories. A more recent memory comes from 2006. My wife and I took a cruise that made stops on the Yucatan Peninsula. As we took a bus ride inland to see the ruins at Chichen Itza, I made sure that I played the song Mexico on my iPod. Cheesy? Sure, but it brought a smile to my face.
