> The list of great songs he has written is pretty long. The list of superb recordings is even longer. He has the gift of being able to make a cover his own (Handyman, You've Got A Friend). He's been recording as long as Joni, and although I don't put him on her level as a writer, a recording artist doesn't last for 5 decades, continuing to produce new work, on meager talent.
Case in point, his latest album...October Roads, a beautiful album with some great new tunes. They may be in the same style but its HIS style and HIS voice and in my mind that is a magical, powerful combination. Just try sitting a few feet in front of James Taylor as he sings "Sweet Baby James" with a full orchestra behind him and you'll never be the same again. Victor Beck still and the sound of wind blowing leaves outside as so few drops of snow fall you can pick out each individual little ball of white dust. --- Victor Johnson --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.cdbaby.com/victorjohnson Look for the new album "Parsonage Lane" in March 2003 Produced by Chris Rosser at Hollow Reed Studios
