One Great Song After Another--A Top Album
Taylor. From "Copperline," which is a catchy tune which lyrics recall an earlier time in the singer's life "down on Copperline," to the politically critical message of "Slap Leather," to the sad and beautiful "Down In the Hole," to the tender and morally reflective "The Frozen Man," to the advice of "Brother Oh Brother," to the gentle, yearning for true love in "The River is Wide," to every other song therein, "New Moonshine" is a top album that will not disappoint old and new fans of Mr. Highly recommended.
Classic JT
" If you like JT, then you should definitely have this in your collection. My favourite song on this album is "Frozen Man. Every album is like a slice of the man's life -- reflecting where he was at the time, and the issues he faced that we all eventually face.
No Frozen Man Is James Taylor!
But since music - great music like this - tells the truth (musically & lyrically as Art), JT is also there for those who want to seek out life's meaning with their soul. The awesome thing about JT is his brilliance in allowing the listener to enjoy his music on a light, bright, joyful level. And this is precisely what makes this Audio CD a masterpiece. "Frozen Man" is a good example. Yeah, he could be talking about some poor guy dug up like they do from time to time. But he also challenges us about letting oneself go to seed spiritually by becoming 'dead' to love, life - everything around us. "The River Is Wide" (Traditional) is another amazing track. Too few artists/musicians, in my humble opinion, are willing to take on classics like this one and render it as fresh as today. You'll love this entire Audio CD - because quite simply - JT does it all.
