James Taylor's latest
album, "Dad Loves His
Work" proves just
that...This album aIvm ttv?
listener the feeling that
James Taylor is enjoying his
occupation as revealed
through his music. The
album contains ten selections,
and no two are quite
the same.
The first side is the most
commercial side. Most songs
on side one have a universal
appeal that listeners, other
than James Taylor fans, can
relate to. The first cut entitled,
"Hard Times" is one
of the best. It has an excellent
beat and a good
chorus. The chorus sums up
the theme of the entire song

One cannot help wondering
if he is referring to his
relationship with his wife,
Carly Simon. Incidently,
unlike other James Taylor
albums, Carly does not
appear on tnis particular
album at all.
The second song is the
popular single that has
received quite a bit of airplay,
"Her Town Too." The
song was co-written by J.D.
Souther.

voices blend beautifully and
their harmony is as close to
perfection as can be.
Ironically, it is the only song
on the album that Souther
sings on. The haunting lyrics
of the song work well with
the somber melody. The
words create a clear picture
of the gossip in a small town,
"Lord knows that this is just
a small town city, And
everyone can see you fall."
Side two opens with the
strong, powerful "Stand and
Fight." It's a hard hitting
song and James Taylor
sounds angry when he sings,
"Don't you worry about
me little darling,
No, I ain't breaking
I'm shaking and aching
Because I can't stand
waiting,

Side two closes with "That H Gam
Lonesome Road," a gospel pf]
number. This song is very |g|
distinct from any other J.T. Sgl
songs. It opens with a choir f t! I
of seven voices and closes
with Taylor singing and
accompanying himself on
the piano. fmmmmmm
"Dad Loves His Work" is I Outdoc
Taylor's best effort since his
"J.T." album. His lyrics are
meaningful, and his music is g
better than it has been in the ^
past. It's more versatile, not
as mellow and monotonous
as in previous efforts. If you
take the time to listen,
James Taylor has something
to say. As proved in many
songs on this album, he says 25c Dra
