Word. JT music is inextricably woven into the fabric of my life. I used to pick the lock on my big sister's bedroom door, sneak in, and read her incredibly juicy diary while playing her inspired record collection. I admit it. Sorry, Lynita. She had James Taylor: In the Pocket. I could sing you every song, side to side, without even thinking even now. It's burned into me I tell you. Lifelong favorite.
And don't forget Joni's harmonies with JT on "Only One." That's a sweet song and the kind of golden music I wish Joni would remint on her own, frankly. Cruel jest to compare him to Lennon though, as much as I love me some JT. He's not all *that*. It's an apples to aardvarks comparison, really. I'd take JT tunes to a desert island before McCartney though, granted. -Julius np: Patty Griffin, live. "Rain" > Gotta agree.
