Recorded in 1977, James Taylor's first album for Columbia Records made a huge impact on the hit charts. The album itself peaked at number 4 of the Billboard 200, and the singles "Handy Man" and "Your Smiling Face" hit high on the charts as well.
JT meant a new direction for the Folk Pop singer, as he shows a newly found positive approach to his songwriting material. Gone were his 'rainy day man' sensitive croons, in comes this mainstream, sunny easy listening vibe. Taylor mixes his patented acoustic guitar-based Folk sound with elements of Rock, Blues and Country to great effect.
Just like the original European pressings, the album is packed in a gatefold sleeve and contains a lyric sheet.
