| Digitally remastered SACD Hybrid edition of this 1981 album from the singer/songwriter. Recorded amidst a failing marriage, ongoing heroin addiction, alcohol dependency, and a sense of fading commercial prowess, James Taylor's Dad Loves His Work is an emotional juggernaut and musical marvel. Far exceeding the sonics of Sony's CD reissue, this audiophile version lifts up the cover on a world of sound, with Taylor's mellow finger-picked guitar melodies, gently reassuring vocals, and bittersweet deliveries brought to the fore. Listeners will also be able to relax amidst the soft clouds of comforting background singing by ace guests Jennifer Warnes, J.D. Souther, and Peter Asher. |
