NEW YORK — Would you vote for James Taylor? It’s a question you probably haven’t pondered before. But when the veteran singer-songwriter — hell, the archetypal singer-songwriter — took the stage at New York’s Carnegie Hall on Wednesday night (April 20), looking freshly pressed in a charcoal suit and plain blue shirt, his balding pate neatly trimmed, he looked so much like a political hopeful preparing to deliver a stump speech that it almost seemed incongruous when he sat down on a stool and hoisted an acoustic guitar. Political ambitions aside, Taylor was presumably just paying his sartorial respects to the institution in whose history he has become enmeshed.

When Taylor made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1970, as an up-and-coming 22-year-old troubadour supporting his breakthrough album, Sweet Baby James, few would have guessed that four decades later, he’d be an iconic elder statesman of American music, helping the hallowed hall to celebrate its 120th anniversary.

All the Crowded House covers on this were absolutely fantastic and reminded me again of what brilliant songwriters they are. I first came across them in the late 80's via a Cassette that a buddy of mine was raving about (their 1986 first album). It was great to hear that Beatles cover, especially as, to my ears, Crowded House have recorded so much Beatles influenced music over the years, especially Woodface.

One thing I did notice from this, was that there were no covers from the album "Together Alone", and there are some fantastic songs on that album, so, as others have said, part 2 would be good. Or maybe this could be the first Coverville extra tracks!!
