The Essential James Taylor (2013) Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings. The Essential James Taylor has a good compilation of James Taylor Songs. It starts with Sweet Baby James from Taylor's second album of the same name. It then includes songs of his albums up until 2002. It is likely the best compilation album of James Taylor's work, but there were three previous greatest hits albums.
I cannot get enough of "Fire and Rain" and "You've Got a Friend." But there are many more impressive songs. "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," "How Sweet It Is to be Loved by You," "Shower the People" and "Your Smiling Face" are all very nice. It seems just about everything James Taylor does turns out nice. He even gives a different feel in "Steamroller" which also works.
And that is the first C.D. The second C.D. does not have as many hits but it carries itself. "Her Town Too" is very nice. As are the next couple songs, "Everyday" and "Only One." "You are my only one" keeps going through my head. I also like "You Can Close Your Eyes." "I still love you, Close Your eyes, I don't know no love songs, I can't sing the Blues anymore. But I can sing this song, and you can sing this song."
