Movie Reviews of A MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute Honoring James Taylor
Movie Review: How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You
Summary: 5 Stars
His mellow voice warms your spirit like butter and honey on a cozy evening by the fire. His lyrics tell stories of lost love and redemption, of friendship and sweetness, of Carolina and Mexico and country roads. He takes you places in your mind where you can dwell easy and the water runs deep. And your feet just wanna dance to the sweet beat of his band. Yes, indeed, it's James Taylor.
In February of this year (2006), sweet baby James was honored as "Person of the Year" by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences' MusiCares program. And what better way to honor him than by having some of the best vocal artists around sing his hauntingly beautiful, insightful songs to an audience including James Taylor and his friends and family.
An unbelievable line-up of singers and musicians paid tribute to James Taylor and his songs. Bruce Springsteen gave a hands-down fantastic performance as he belted out "Millworker." Taj Mahal and Dr. John cranked out "Everybody's Got the Blues" with earthy, hip-swaying style. Keith Urban stomped out an unforgettable "Country Roads" that made your soul cry for more. Alison Krauss crooned our souls to heaven with "Carolina on My Mind", and Carole King captured our hearts when she poured out "You've Got a Friend."
King's powerful voice and staccato piano rocked the hall as her eyes lovingly gazed into the big blues of her good friend James, who sat in the audience just loving it. And of course, he couldn't stay away. He joined her at the piano for the roof-raising finale of the song. After that, what could top it all but for James Taylor himself to sing several of his best recordings, including "Shed a Little Light," "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)," and the soulful, unforgettable "Fire and Rain."
In the last couple of numbers, James' brother Livingston joined him on stage to sing, while James' two little sons danced nearby, holding their uncle's hands. James' wife sat in the audience, proudly watching her sweet husband be honored. And a jammin', rockin' good time was had by all!
The program was broadcast on PBS stations this past November. If you didn't get a chance to catch this fantastic performance, not to worry. You can now buy the DVD. If you love James Taylor (and who doesn't), then you won't be disappointed.
