Album Review
James Taylor produced a typical collection of familiar-sounding songs on New Moon Shine, his concerns ranging from romance to the life of the working man to political issues like war and civil rights on which he took the expected liberal positions. The album was written, played, and sung with typical craft and care, and was a worthy addition to Taylor's catalog. Taylor's reliability means that his records do not disappoint his faithful audience, but neither do they provide any revelations. New Moon Shine provided four Adult Contemporary chart entries in "Copperline," "(I've Got To) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That," a cover of Sam Cooke's "Everybody Loves to Cha Cha Cha," and "Like Everyone She Knows," and the album went gold, staying in the charts more than nine months, a good showing for a record that essentially repeated previous efforts. (New Moon Shine was eventually certified platinum.)
Customer Reviews
Stood the Test of Time
I will offer The Frozen Man as JT at his best. An amazing narrative, nuanced and poignant, inspired, or so it is said, by an article in National Geographic Magazine. Time has been good to this record. Shed a Little Light has become a concert staple as has Copperline. Slap Leather serves to remind us of the Politics of the early 1990's. This is a major work by a national treasure.
An Excellent Album
Why does an album have to be "ground breaking"? James Taylor has consistently produced albums that could be listened to from beginning to end. The reviewer from all music is like most reviewers all opinion and no talent. This is an excellent album I love it!!! It's 2006 and I still play it from beginning to end. I buy quite a few CDs per year. This one was worth the money
Superb Album
This is one of those albums that I enjoyed even more rediscovering it on i-tunes. Although a Boston Red Sox loving New Englander, James Taylor was seasoned by his formative years in North Carolina and this album finds him "Going Carolina" more than on any of his others. Strong narratives, folk and funk, this is Tayor at his best. Stand outs include "Copperline" and "Shed a Little Light", but every track is excellent. The world is a better place for Mr. Taylor crafting songs.
