STEREOGUM DEBUTS NEW JAMES TAYLOR SONG “MONTANA”
TAYLOR’S FIRST ALBUM OF NEW SONGS IN 13 YEARS,
BEFORE THIS WORLD, DUE OUT JUNE 16TH ON CONCORD RECORDS
Today Stereogum.com debuted a new James Taylor song called “Montana,” from his “thoughtful, elegiac new studio album” Before This World. Stereogum described Taylor as “a man with a knack for writing such personal, precise songs that they become part of our collective consciousness.” Listen to the song and read his Q&A here, http://bit.ly/1JTgMpR.
Before This World is the iconic singer/songwriters first album of new songs since 2002’s platinum-selling October Road. Produced by Grammy Award®-winner Dave O’Donnell, Before This World features ten songs, nine of which are new James Taylor compositions, and is due out June 16th, 2015 on Concord Records.
Recorded at his home studio TheBarn, in Washington, MA, Taylor enlisted the longtime members of his band for the sessions including bassist Jimmy Johnson, drummer Steve Gadd, guitarist Michael Landau, keyboardist Larry Goldings, percussionist Luis Conte, fiddler and vocalist Andrea Zonn and vocalists Arnold McCuller, David Lasley and Kate Markowitz. Taylor also called on close friends Yo-Yo Ma and Sting to add their remarkable talent to the new album, (Ma’s cello is heard on “You And I Again” and “Before This World”; Sting added vocals to “Before This World.”) Additionally, Taylor’s wife Kim and son Henry sing harmony on “Angels Of Fenway” and the classic folk tune “Wild Mountain Thyme.”
