This opening is from the uncover called “James Taylor in Concert: Sings James Taylor.” As most of we might know, this strain was created for his nephew James behind in 1969 whilst he was roving behind to North Carolina. www.hojo.org.uk

legendary stuff that doesnt seem to exsist anymore
6os true genius ,,,, speak the truth and you will will live a good life…………….
Just close you eyes and listen- quite possibly the purest performer, ever. The guitar, the voice, the lyrics- this was a live recording and he still puts the calm in you. If this doesn’t evoke some sort of emotional response, then check your pulse- or beter yet, check your conscience- He is the precourser to the Jack Johnson Mellow Man Show for those under the age of 30…
JT is my all time fav singer…………it’s only now that i got to see him ‘live’ .wonders of the modern tech…….called ‘internet’
Genius. Masterpiece.
This is such a great song.
i love his voice
DD
absolutely true…
The bar was definitely higher back then. How many people today can come out with a guitar, a chair and a microphone and totally mesmerize 5,000 people with no effects or help and deliver such a full, beautiful sound? JT has always been in a class all alone.
true my friend
touch of genius
most of it written driving through the Richmond area…too cool
my favorite james taylor song.. it brings tears to my eyes.
his voice is so clear and pure. just beautiful……
I am glad you cleared that up for them. Thanks from someone who has seen the Berkshires with snow on them and knows how dreamlike they can be.
Anyway, I never get sick of this song. It always gives me chills.
Real music before the hub cap music polluted the industry!
his voice here has a depth like some
“country” singer…maybe his youth voice ?
whatever, i love this version. thanks.
This is correct.
he was driving to Boston to see his newborn nephew named James
crispinflora & vince — The Berkshires are the mountain range in the western half of Massachusetts — not pigs (?!), not birch trees. In the song he is driving the Mass Pike (I-90) east from Stockbridge (in the Berkshires) to Boston in the winter, thus the “frosting” of early snow. If I can do anything for one of my favorite songs, it is clarifying this. And btw my horses live happily outside thru the New England winter – it is not abuse.
it’s Berkshires, Ma.

One of the best songs ever written. A true modern musical genius
すばらしい
I named my son James after this song. He was still in my belly, and this song just came to me. My Baby James is almost 8 years old now, and he is very, very sweet indeed.
I’ve been covering this song since 1971–38 years. That’s a lot of Sweet Baby Jameses. But people love a great song from the heart and this is one.
…perused it earlier and couldn’t get over it–LOL all those years that I was singing it –”frozen Swine!!” seemed dream-like—ha ha–in the Philippines (back then) English language was only used in school (not your everyday conversation dialect) and so attaining fluency in the dialect (English) is enhanced when one sings English songs; and that’s I did.
haha yeah a big difference indeed! the farmer wudve been charged with neglect had he left his animals out in the snow! lol
