JAMES TAYLOR Shares His Favorite Music & Books

[@mattwilliam4803]

-I still can't get over KZbin. I never thought I'd be in a bookstore with James Taylor, showing me his favorite music and books !!! ✨✨✨

[@bordersmedia]

Wonderful, isn't it?

[@donhuffer5167]

I listened to you music all my life. Now we are old and you’re coming out of your reclusive life to share. I’m so glad.

[@virginiaplain100]

I miss Borders. They had more variety of books, music, movies and other things. I don't like Barnes and Noble so much. Borders also had a free membership where I would get coupons every so often by email. I have to pay for a Barnes and Noble membership.

The one way you can truely tell if a celebrity is nice or not is how they are when they speak in an interview. And based on watching this, James Taylor had a fantastic personality. :)

[@ButterflyLullabyLtd]

What a wonderful video. I really miss Borders too. I am from the UK. Borders is the only bookstore that actually supported new Authors and helped them. They sold my books and little fairy peg doll kits. But then the USA has a big heart. The UK British Elites here seem to no HEARTS. They are so anti small business. And people in power do not support children and family or Home Education. Thank you Borders for caring, I MISS YOU, AND YOUR MORALS AND VALUES SO VERY MUCH!

James I love playing your tunes on my guitars, your words have pulled me out of the blues. I have read hundereds of books, and one of the best is "beyond willpower" - wow enlightening - enjoy.

[@michellecalling]

JT to put it simply home he's in his own element. Thanks to Borders and to James Taylor for his insight.

[@ehsanhaq3841]

Thank u for this amazing video. It’s just like being in conversation with one of my fav people. So humble ....just magic. Thank u again 🙏

[@chrisnolan5607]

Thank you James, wish I could walk through the wealth of Civilization with you.

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

Very intelligent well informed gentleman, very interesting background

[@tastemaker_87]

James taylor is folk i guess but it goes beyond that. Some of his tunes have such a groove such as "ananas" or "rainy day man" he's awesome and a very good live act. Also nice to hear him talk fondly of anna karenina, a very fine novel 👏

[@kansaspeach7727]

I have Ben's CD! I love Lady Magic amongst others. I saw him live in KC with my big Sister. Cherished Birthday memory for me.❤

[@constantine62]

legendary genteel artist. james taylor forever

[@conor3000]

this is great - thanks for posting!

[@EmeraldWoodArchives]

Damn, I know. I used to hang at my neighborhood Borders all the time.

[@dianemackelvey4070]

I love Ben Taylor’s music. He is very talented. He does have his own sound and it’s a pleasing sound! He good looking too.. he needs to put his pic on his covers!

[@carolyncolinhogarth8732]

Thank you James for sharing who you are....so e of my favorites are War and Peace...and manynothers...The plague most fitting. stories of greats like Nietzsche....and his girlfriend and the opera writer who livec with them. There are so ,any greatvpoets, and people who wrote o wars and what it did to them. All the books of differing cultures and womenvwho resided in the Forest...and so man authors whose writings admire. i honestly hesitate to oush one author. But thank you for your share.

[@dianemackelvey4070]

Love Leo Tolstoy. He writes with his faith in mind.

[@aaronsmith5954]

by far my greatest musical inspiration and hero along side the Bee Gees for my whole 48 years. but he is certainly like listening to Jimmy Stewart 🤣😁

[@tmamone83]

R.I.P. Borders

[@GwendolineMerricksakicatnpix]

In all of your compositions there are elements of the journey you made via books from Huck Finn to Thomas Mann to Tolstoy. I pick up on these references because these were part of my life too. We are now in 2017 and this wasn't downloaded until now (the merry month of May). I'm in London ha ha ha!

[@carolyncolinhogarth8732]

Have you ever read Dangerous Women...on ships sea story and women....a good read.

[@carolyncolinhogarth8732]

fusion and hecreallybisxa musivian from top to bottom...beautiful. mine is sosnish ,usic and Chopin.

[@caroll6261]

James, i didn't write any titles down. I'll get your favs, sometime soon. Thank you, this makes me feel like I'm a small part of your life💖💙 Hey, made Ina Garden's Banana Crunch muffin recipe-- used just plain old fashion oats. Wow! Super good. Yeeees it has white flour in it😱😵

[@caroll6261]

My fav book.....Alexander Dumas' 3 Muskateers....Anna is really thick😆😜😘😁

[@richalderson6069]

I love Sketches of Spain, great choice James! 😀

[@billirelandtunes]

How is it that my musical touchstones are the same as James Taylor's? I must be really cool.

[@EnginesandElbowGrease]

My dad loves the Master and Commander series by Patrick O'Brien!!!

[@locutus94]

@locutus94 *has a wonderful personality (sorry about the past tense above... just a typo)

[@jimmaculate5]

he's so tense in his face and takes a lot of time to get through a sentence. i say the same about don henley's expression, only don looks really angry and bitter. against don felder? prob. i had JT's first three records, really good back then, along with Cat Steven, the 60's and early 70's, when i was a music critic ('65 to '71).

[@Bruningable]

Great!

[@612franklin]

God Bless

[@carolyncolinhogarth8732]

nice...

[@612franklin]

Thanks : )

[@WhisperVoyeur]

3:28 ...damm funny 😄😄😄

[@Pappahobo]

I don't know what happened, but for a momment I thought I was watching Tim Hauser instead of James Taylor.

[@Filchmeister]

JT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@612franklin]

Let's not fawn. Jest Listen

[@jaywalker8309]

borders closed tower closed music sales gone

[@gregb4472]

Boomhower?

[@carolyncolinhogarth8732]

books are great and definitely good for study but living outside books is my time. Right now my huband craves the book and keeps his head buried in them. i chose to change and want to live breathe dance, and livemlifeboutside of books. i have had my fill of book life. i want real life.

[@JeanneCiampa]

Love him so much

[@meliachild]

JT

[@jeeves251]

JT is god

[@debjesic]

Be nice to Carly, she's the mother of your children!

[@eileenmccarthy7392]

Has he not been nice to Carly? BTW I’ve met Carly and several of her healthcare providers and she is highly demanding, moody and self-centered.

[@bahbrajonz]

Wow, I'm glad he doesn't stutter this badly when he sings! Yikes!

[@alika207]

Speaking and singing utilize two different parts of the brain.

[@telephonetlm]

@@alika207 - Never read anything about this, but it seems kind of obvious when you listen to Mel Tillis sing and then hear him speak. He has an absolutely horrible stutter when he talks but never even stumbles over a word when he sings.

[@aliciagabriel8408]

I think his drug use influenced his stuttering
