BEST LIVE finally catches James Taylor in a performance of most of his masterpieces from the GREATEST HITS album. Expertly recorded on a short tour with his regular performing band, this album finds Taylor in stellar form as he glides through tried-and-true audience favorites like "Sweet Baby James" and "Your Smiling Face." Likewise, signature tunes such as "Fire And Rain," "How Sweet It Is" and "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" are included because, well, it's a James Taylor show! Under the direction of pianist/producer Don Grolnick, the band, which includes studio veterans Mike Landau (guitar), Jimmy Johnson (bass) and Carlos Vega (drums), masterfully performs the more recent songs "Handy Man" and the beautiful "Shed A Little Light" along with the older hits. The always rocking "Steamroller Blues" is here as proof that this is one show not be missed. If you can get a ticket, that is.
