James Taylor is one of the world`s great singer/songwriters but ironically he is better known for his covers.
Taylor’s biggest hits like ‘Handy Man’, ‘You’re Got A Friend’ and ‘How Sweet It Is’ were covers, although his own songs like ‘Fire and Rain’, ‘Carolina On My Mind’ and ‘Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight’ are all bona-fide hits.Taylor is about to release ‘Covers’, his first studio album since ‘October Road’ in 2002.
