Average Rating: Rating: - Worth the Wait It's always presumptuous to write anything about great music...you need to listen to it to understand. But this latest effort by someone whose skills don't need too much explanation is worth the wait since "Hourglass". Lots of the familiar in the work, but not formula riffs or chord progressions...not just old favorites remixed or rewritten. If you would like some deeper insight into some of the places and themes that you'll find in "October Road", then maybe you should read at least one biography of the artist...it's well worth the time. You can sometimes hear the ocean or feel the movement of a ship in this music. You can detect the air getting a bit cooler as autumn approaches. Some of the tracks may stir feelings of sadness or longing, but there are other songs to lighten your heart as well. The lyrics range from the roguishly clever to the outright nostalgic. Musically, you can expect the very fine production and sound quality that we've grown accustomed to when James Taylor shares his special gifts with us. But aside from such "mundane" technical considerations, "October Road" is another wonderful work from an artist who pays particular attention to lyrical and musical excellence....and who understands a great deal about the fall of the year. Rating: - Walking Down October Road The new James Taylor CD, October Road, is bound to be a classic. Songs like "Whenever You're Ready" and "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" are bound to get a lot of air-play on the radio, but long-time fans will go for the more subtle stuff, like "4th of July" or "Carry Me On My Way". But the quirkier personal songs, like "Baby Buffalo" and "My Traveling Star" are the ones stuck in my head. If you're a die-hard JT fan, you'll love every note. If you vaguely remember "Fire & Rain", you'll still find this to be an amazing work. Lots of variety, intelligent lyrics and, as always, beautiful music. Good job, JT. Rating: - James Taylor - Back and better than ever with "October Road" Like a fine wine, James Taylor just gets better and better as the years go by. "October Road" finds JT in top form here both musically and vocally. In the past 15 years it seems as though each recording he has released is better than the last. And I didn't think there was any way he could ever top "Hourglass", one of my favorite recordings of all time. But once again James Taylor proves me wrong. "October Road" is a feast for the ears, and definitely worth the wait. The acoustic guitar is featured prominently throughout the songs on this CD (just the way true JT fans like it) and along with his signature voice is as beautiful as ever. "September Grass", "October Road", and "On The 4th Of July", the first 3 songs on the CD, show what James Taylor, with little more than an acoustic guitar, bass, and percussion can do with a song. And that is prove that this singer-songwriter is back and better than ever. "Whenever You're Ready" then takes over and is the kind of song that JT fans love get up in concert and dance to. To make a long review short, I believe the next 8 songs are also destined to become JT "classics". I also highly recomend the "Limited Edition" CD with 3 extra tracks and multimedia for the computer. Can't wait for the tour and thank you James Taylor for another round of great music.
