James Taylor shares songwriting tips

James Taylor was too noble for me as a young cat, but things change. Saw him in concert for the second time last summer and it was once again tremendous. The way they master the not too fast, slow, wild nor lazy zone, is amazing. They cover just about every mid-flavour there is, no bar left unspirited or vapid. Coincidence made me have a chat with Mr. Gadd (a little rhyme for you there) walking around relaxing in Tivoli before the show. I'm supposed to be a grown up now, still had to ask for an autograph. (His floor-tom sound alone should be reason enough).

What's very interesting about the interview, is the way Taylor writes a cappella. Just hum away and fix some unexpected chords later.

Long live sweet baby J.T.

I agree.....when you've done it as long as him, it probably comes easy. I like how he writes chords first then works out the melody....very interesting
