James Taylor retiring from music.

[89th]

Let me be the first to say... James Taylor's music is fantastic. Beautiful guitar, melodies, voice, stories... he always seemed to hit the bullseye with a perfect combo of a foot tapping catchy melody with melancholic lyrics.

Never into James Taylor folk/pop stylings. Much more inclined towards the earthy folk tunes of Guy Clark and John Prine.

Can you recommend a few songs, preferably with links to youtube? I'm interested.

Yeah, I kind of lean into the Texas singer/songwriters - Lovett, Van Zandt, Keen, Clark, Ely, Prine.

Horace, if that sort of thing is of interest to you, I'd recommend Lyle Lovett's Step Inside This House album. All songs by that Texas bunch that he covers and does so quite well.

He’s what? In his 80s? He should be retired for 15 years, now…

Probably not a Texas song writer but I love this woman. And her song is special.
