James Taylor - Greatest Hits [LP] 2013 Vinyl/ Carole King/ Carly Simon/ Sealed
1976 Greatest Hits Compilation Features Musicians Carly Simon, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, David Crosby And More!

Originally release in 1976, this Greatest Hits compilation covers 12 of his best tunes from his early career and features assistance from his then wife Carly Simon as well as the likes of David Crosby, Graham Nash, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Michael Brecker, David Sanborn and more! The album includes such hits as "Fire and Rain", "You've Got A Friend" and "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)".

"James Taylor had scored eight Top 40 hits by the fall of 1976 when Warner Brothers marked the end of his contract with this compilation. One of those hits, the Top Ten gold single "Mockingbird," a duet with his wife Carly Simon, was on Elektra Records, part of the Warner family of labels and presumably available, but it was left off. "Long Ago and Far Away," a lesser hit (though it made the Top Ten on the easy listening charts), wasn't used either. In addition to the six hits -- "Fire and Rain," "Country Road," "You've Got a Friend," "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)," and "Shower the People" -- that were included, the album featured a couple of less successful singles, "Mexico" and "Walking Man," the album track "Sweet Baby James," and three previously unreleased recordings -- a live version of "Steamroller" and newly recorded versions of "Something in the Way She Moves" and "Carolina in My Mind," songs featured on Taylor's 1968 debut album, recorded for Apple/Capitol. The result was a reasonable collection for an artist who wasn't particularly well-defined by his singles. One got little sense of Taylor's evolution from the dour, confessional songs of his first two albums to the more conventional pop songs of his sixth and seventh ones. But one did hear isolated examples of Taylor's undeniable warmth and facility for folk/country-tinged pop. By the next summer, Taylor was back in the Top Ten on Columbia, and Greatest Hits was out of date. But it remains a good sampler of Taylor's more popular early work." - allmusic.com
