Very talented Rock artist James Taylor has released his latest CD titled Hourglass and Wow! It’s really a good one.
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.
I give Hourglass my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.
While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 1 – Line ‘Em Up, track 6 – Jump Up Behind Me, and track 12 – Walking My Baby Back Home
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9 – Up From Your Life. Great track!
