Five-time Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter James Taylor's Before This World is his first album of new songs since 2002’s October Road.
Produced by Grammy Award-winner Dave O’Donnell, Before This World features ten songs, nine of which are new Taylor compositions.
“My sort of self-expression and the autobiographical aspect of my work is a through-line that links all my albums together,” the genial singer declares.
“I think I have grown musically, and I think people can hear it in what I played in ‘68, and you can hear it in what I’m singing about now. It is ongoing, it’s still me, but it’s still evolving.”
Songs include Stretch of the Highway about the calming properties of being on the road. The title track, Before This World, is described as a song for agnostics and the redemptive spirit of baseball is celebrated in Angels Of Fenway.
