James Taylor at Christmas

Performer: James Taylor (Soft Rock)
Producer: James Taylor; Dave Grusin; Charlie Paakkari; Russ Titelman
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution (

Notes: Personnel: James Taylor (vocals). JAMES TAYLOR AT CHRISTMAS (2006) is essentially a repackaging of the artist's 2004 JAMES TAYLOR: A CHRISTMAS ALBUM, which was made available in Hallmark stores. "Deck the Halls," featured on the Hallmark album, is not on AT CHRISTMAS, which instead features a version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "River," originally released on a Taylor studio album in 2002. These technicalities aside, AT CHRISTMAS is a mellow and sweet holiday offering from the venerable singer-songwriter, with Taylor's gentle acoustic and easy tenor caressing "Go Tell It On the Mountain" and "The Christmas Song." Taylor fans looking for a little Christmas cheer will want to pick this one up.

James Taylor was the archetype for the gentle, inward-looking singer/songwriter movement of the early '70s. The easy lilt and timbre of Taylor's voice belies the complex emotional content of his songs, which aren't merely carefree folk-based odes, but instead look unflinchingly at a flawed man's journey through life. It's a tribute to his knack for making great pop records that he managed a long, decade-plus string of big hits. Taylor remained relevant long after his impressive run of top 40 hits, recording numerous million-selling records in the '90s & '00s and winning multiple Grammys.
