{"title":"James Taylor","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Taylor was the pre-eminent singer\/songwriter of the Seventies and has remained a solid musical craftsman and performer. Born in Boston in 1948, Taylor grew up in the university town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He summered with his family on Martha's Vineyard, where he met fellow guitarist\/songwriter Danny \"Kootch\" Kortchmar and began performing. Beset by drug problems, he voluntarily institutionalized himself and began writing songs during his stay. Moving to New York , Taylor formed the Flying Machine with Kortchmar in 1966. After their breakup, he headed to London, where he lived for a year. He cut a demo tape that got him signed to the Beatles' Apple Records by A\u0026amp;R man Peter Asher, who became his manager and producer. The debut album James Taylor (1968) contained Taylor's classic \"Carolina in My Mind.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"country-road-sunny-skies-1","title":"Country Road\/ Sunny Skies","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a totally different -- and actually much better -- version than the one that appears on the album \"Sweet Baby James.\" Clearly, Taylor and the band went back in to the studio to lay down a tighter, more hit-worthy recording, and the effort paid off!
