[@bobbynewell2736]

One of the best acoustic guitar players of this century without a doubt

[@BetterqQoL]

Of the decade

[@richardlopez4318]

@@BetterqQoL he's been playing for half a century. So don't know what you mean

[@staff72]

Lyricist as well

[@trogytrog3558]

Absolutely unique

[@TheWingus]

James Taylor is a criminally underrated guitarist

[@jason1932]

so true, complex notes ontop of singing which is crazy- In the top 10 songwriters all time my opinion

[@medicalnegligence]

Totally agree. Paul Simon is also an underrated player.

[@Kalanimauimusic]

He’s not underrated by guitarists. We all recognize his genius.

[@TUBESTOOL]

He's not underrated to anyone that plays guitar.

[@grantvalencia752]

That's true and that Olson guitar sounds pretty swell!

[@EZGrace]

James just makes the world a better place.

[@mattmelcher4435]

Genius song writer kudos james

[@jdavis54]

The fact BILLY JOEL was at Howard’s wedding and sang a beautiful James Taylor song makes him an absolute legend

[@marwoodrobinson1969]

What JT song was that?

[@kevinjosaitis3676]

His voice has not changed or aged at all in the slightest!!! Absolutely incredible.

[@freddytrinidad3155]

What a beautiful sounding guitar. What a gift to hear his timeless songs

[@EnigmaOnStrings]

An Olson! The best

[@writereducator]

He is the complete singer-songwriter: great songs, great voice, great guitar stylings, humble and approachable persona.

[@trogytrog3558]

Absolutely

[@fenderfox5080]

I love James Taylor since I was a kid, I shook his hand after he played a show here in Madison WI and he smiled and thanked me for coming to the show and waves goodbye. he's so humble and a great storyteller

[@gregdahlen4375]

he'd better thank you, you pay his bills

[@jsigur157]

That qualifies you for "next president"

[@edsambucci9564]

I dare anyone to watch this whole clip, listen intently and not get emotional...God speaks through James without a doubt imho

[@jackieguccione94]

Well said

[@stephaniepreston-mullins3262]

He definitely does. That first song he sang had me in tears, per usual. If you ever really need to feel *something* take a listen to any #JamesTaylor song. 🧡💙❤️

[@brianlehr78]

I agree.. John Denver has the same affect on me too!

[@BigLar56321]

James Taylor is an American treasure. Still one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended was seeing him for maybe 2 hours, and it was all superb music, plus he always sounds as great as ever.

[@danilolegaspi5767]

a unique folksinger with awesome guitar talent. One of a kind. luv u james, superb talent...

[@robertball9009]

I’ve always thought James Taylor was absolute perfection.

[@timtonner946]

"You Can Close Your Eyes" is such a beautiful song...

[@markvaars37]

One of my favorite karaoke songs same with alot of these

[@salmanrahman1290]

My fav…

[@vincelucas5722]

James is beyond the beyond of talent - - singer and guitar player. He resides in my top five of my faves.

[@jeffPATS22]

Such a gifted and talented song writer. Still gives me the chills.

[@tommeredith7462]

As a teen we loved it when James was on the radio, we would be making a family trip to visit the mountains of NC and Carolina on my mind would be heard, myself and my siblings would be excited.

[@lhart99]

For James Taylor to go through the mental and emotional hardships that he's experienced in his life and to come out the other end of it a survivor is truly a miracle from the universe. I'm forever grateful for the fact that James Taylor put his experiences to music and give them to us.

[@Jamesvernontaylor982]

Thank you for your love kindness and support

[@trisortiz3312]

Some humans are given the job to make people happy, James is one of them!

[@jackieguccione94]

No question

[@marboca1556]

James Taylor ~ One of the best & great Folk Singer , songwriter & acoustic guitar player !

[@rosco1pug]

that guitar absolutely rings in the hands of James Taylor, musical genius

[@allenphelps2824]

I sing this song and other JT songs to sing my son to sleep. I love JT

[@robertjohnson3855]

JT IS AN ANGEL, HIS MUSIC IS SO COMFORTING AND BEAUTIFUL, HE WAS BORN WITH A CALLING FROM GOD TO BRING US HIS MAGICAL MUSIC.

[@maralynfarber2068]

I am a vocalist, and was raised in North Carolina. I went to college in Chapel Hill, class of ‘76. All of us Tar Heels love James so much. James’ music has healed so many. To you, James, with deepest affection and appreciation for your timeless and magical gifts.🩵🎵

[@jeffwolinski2659]

I've been thinking a lot lately about us losing our musical heroes as we all age. Some losses have hit me hard. But I think the thought of losing JT is my biggest fear, such a musical giant and exceptional human being. I hope he's here for another 20 years at least.

[@fourthgenquilter9801]

I have the same fear! I hope he lives and sings for many, many more years! He is my number one!

[@joselitoancheta4422]

James Taylor is one a kind human being with a great talent that touched so many souls of his musical geniuty. God bless JT

[@chrisdaniel1339]

I would have been great to ask James to play a couple songs in their entirety. Damn he is amazing to listen to

[@Djembedude12]

[@charlieg1337]

Such a treasure...

[@sablemountain]

IMHO, this is the best version of "Close your Eyes" that I've heard!!!

[@TheAtticradio]

There’s a nice version of him and Carly Simon doing this song - it’s gorgeous - KZbin

[@jeffwolinski2659]

JT and Carole King do a phenomenal version as well.

[@DenEz_TV]

One of the greatest covers is a Mac Demarco's one on James Taylor song "I Was a Fool To Care". Amazing job! James always has interesting chords and melodies!

[@evelindadewispelaere4426]

[@ErikF]

Amazing guitar player. What a pro!

[@hbertolinih]

I heard JT when I was 8y. His music graved on my heart. When I was 18y I passed a LP store where it was music playing. I bought this LP and his songs are on my mind.

[@livelife365]

that last song got me...damn you, JT!

[@PamelaFinney-hp2bo]

I love to hear the background of some of your songs!! Thank You James ❤❤❤😊🌹🙏

He plays the bass line with his finger picking, not many players can do that. Great guitar player and his voice is so good.

[@randyandkathykaping2458]

Great show, James Taylor is a national treasure

[@lilmikeycarson]

Imagine being so insanely talented.

[@sorencin11]

[@donnacraig6116]

The worlds a better place due to his creativity, voice and guitar playing.

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Those underlying bass notes and punctuated treble on top of the fingerstyle - sooooo good...

[@kevinseversonandhisvizslas8287]

His voice isn’t what used to be, but that’s the way life goes

[@spitfirekid1]

It’s still amazing.

[@JamesRonstadt]

Sweet baby James. Music icon

[@azuansyakirin7397]

Its either the sound engineer did an outstanding job with the sound or James picking was just out of this universe. Flawless. I mean really. Paired with his soothing voice, gave me goosebumps from start to end.

[@yamahschector]

Am I crazy or does Howard have some of the best music on his show.

[@claum292]

Brilliant !!!!!
