Kurzbeschreibung
From his Beatles sponsored debut in 1968 to his Grammy-winning Hourglass album of 1997, James Taylor has been universally acclaimed as a songwriter of exceptional eloquence and emotional power. In this major biography, Timothy White explores both the career and the troubled personal journey of the legendary singer-songwriter. Rich with insights from Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, Sting, Danny 'Kootch' Kortchmar, the entire Taylor family and many other key figures around around James Taylor and his music. Dispelling myth and rumour, Long Ago and Far Away examines the roots of Taylor's mental anguish and his recurring bouts with heroin and alcohol. This is an epic family history, an exploration of his real stories behind Fire and Rain and the rest of the songs, as well as a frank account of Taylor's days on the Apple record label, the financial disaster of his Greatest Hits album deal and the deaths and divorces that have haunted his life. No writer interviewed James Taylor and his family in greater depth over the decades than the late Timothy White, former editor in chief of Billboard and the author of the international best-seller Catch A Fire: The Life of Bob Marley. This new edition has been updated by his friend and former Rolling Stone comrade Mitch Glazer and includes an epilogue about the memorial concerts for Timothy that James Taylor helped to organise. Includes many previously unpublished photos and an extensive discography and bibliography.

Interesting and well written
14. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
An interesting and well written book.
It starts with several chapters of family history, which I found slow going at first, but then came to see the author's point regarding family history and it's influence on the music.
The style of the writing seems to be a mix of impersonal description and fairly intimate information, which came across at times as dry. Nevertheless, interesting and worth a read.

Great insight on JT and family
12. Juli 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Areas of great interest to me were his family history as well as the memories of his childhoood and young adulthood, his parent's relationship,and his many friendships with people I had no idea he was friends with, etc. I also enjoyed the section where he shared personal insights and info about various songs and what they meant to him. Great book.

james taylor
8. August 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
although the first few chapters about family history are lengthy and tough: this is thé reference book about james taylor; family facts are the red threads throughout the book; many detailed facts; unfortunately still not enough interviews with james himself, but that probably always will be a problem;
