Abstract:

A valuable resource for James Taylor fans and a fascinating read for anyone interested in autobiographical popular music of the past 50 years.

• Ties Taylor's highly publicized struggles with drugs and in relationships to his songs

• Delves into the not-frequently discussed musical aspects of Taylor's writing, including his use of unusual musical forms
