A half a century has passed since James Taylor released “Sweet Baby James” (1970), an album that reached #3 on the Billboard Album Charts, propelled by the success of its single “Fire and Rain.” After a 2019 remaster of the album, Taylor is celebrating 50 years of success as a singer-songwriter but has no intention of hanging up his guitar just yet.
In addition to releasing a new album, “American Standard,” Taylor is giving fans an inside perspective on the first 21 years of his life and career through an audio memoir titled “Break Shot,” which is being released on Audible.
