(01/04/1979-03/25/1979).Photographer: Mark Hanauer.FLAG is a compendium of James Taylor's various styles. As always, melodic hooks, catchy phrases and precise musical turns abound. On "Company Man" Taylor takes another look at his uneasy relationship with fame and the music business. "Johnnie Comes Back" is a dark little rocker about some particularly nasty goings on. While he was in the rock neighborhood J.T. even manages to prance and preen a little in his danceable raveup of the Beatles' "Day Tripper." "Rainy Day Man" is revisited from his first record and the c

CLASSIC SONGS is a remastered 16 song collection featuring folk artist James Taylor, featuring "Fire And Rain, " "Mexico, " "You've Got A Friend, " and "Shower The People."Personnel: James Taylor (vocals, guitar).For a long time, Classic Songs was the only compilation to feature the original versions of all of James Taylor's classics from his debut up through 1985's That's Why I'm Here. Unfortunately, it was only available in Europe, yet it long remained the best, most comprehensive collection of his work. ~ Chris Woodstra

Any good singer can interpret a song, but it takes a stylist to make it his own. James Taylor is a stylist. This 20-track anthology obviously can't chronicle much more than the hits and high points of Taylor's career, but it nonetheless captures the artistic essence of a performer who's become a virtual synonym for "singer-songwriter" since his emergence in the late '60s. A lot of ink has been spilled ruminating about Taylor's role in soothing a '60s-burned generation, but given his own well-known demons (depression, addiction) his gentle voice often sounds like the physician wisely healing himself. His muse seems fully formed from the opening "Something in the Way She Moves, " a track cut for the Beatles' Apple label in late ‘68 (and one that seems to share some symbiotic relationship with George Harrison's own classic "Something" from the period), its tone at once familiar and inviting--if ripe for a few decades of parody--as it wends its way from his seminal early '70s hits through a slate of later originals, R&B ("How Sweet It Is, " "Handy Man") and pop ("Up On the Roof") covers. Tellingly, he delivers those chestnuts with an offhand confidence and illumination that makes them his own, a sense that informs even his jazz and Brazilian ("Only a Dream a Rio") flirtations. The set's newly recorded bonus cut, John Sheldon's "Bittersweet, " is a pleasant pop confection that showcases Taylor's knack for being laconic and upbeat in the same breath. --Jerry McCulley

Carole King and James Taylor reuniting isn't quite a monumental reunion -- they never were an official performing entity, so they never had a falling out, appearing on-stage and on record from time to time since their `70s heyday -- but it is a notable one, particularly when they choose to perform at the Troubadour, the L.A. venue so crucial at the start of their stardom, backed by such fellow veterans of the SoCal singer/songwriter scene as guitarist Danny Kortchmar, bassist Leland Sklar, and drummer Russell Kunkel, musicians who supported them the last time they co-headlined the club back in 1971. All this made their series of shared shows in November 2007 an event, albeit a low-key one. King and Taylor embrace their classics -- it seems that there's not a hit missed between the two of them -- and there's genuine warmth to the whole show that's quite appealing. Perhaps there are no surprises here, but any shock would have run counter to the whole spirit of the evening: this is about basking in both nostalgi
