Dad Loves His Work - Columbia 1981
"The illusions that we live are very tenacious. We want to escape the loneliness of being human, and that's what music does for us. A song like Sugar trade, which I wrote with Tim Mayer and Jimmy Buffett, has political implications but also sailing and trading themes from my family history. Songs like I Will Follow and That Lonesome Road are meant to provide relief from separation. When John belushi died, his wife Judy asked me to sing it at his funeral, and it was good for that Don Grolnick arranged the keyboard part and wrote the vocal arrangement too. I see music as a clear connection to the physical laws that govern the uninverse. Harmony, the overtones series - these things have a huge emotional content for us, regardless of the lyrics. our response are so immediate that they drop us out of our dream. you need to put your foot on the rock sometimes, and music is the way to do just that. "James Taylor
Key Tracks: "Her Town Too," "Believe It or Not"
Quick Take: Dad Loves His Work finds JT back on the beam. It was led by the gently incisive divorce song "Her Town Too," among his finest pieces of writing and his last hit single.
