Never Die Young is the latest release from Rock Sensation James Taylor, and is another winner by this talented musician.
This one literally grabs your attention right from the very beginning with Never Die Young and doesn’t let go until the very last note of the very last song First Of May, which is another great track by the way.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of James Taylor’s most impressive releases ever.
I’m of the opinion that Never Die Young is certainly James Taylor’s best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Rock fan can appreciate and enjoy.
While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 1 – Never Die Young, track 8 – Home By Another Way, and track 10 – First Of May
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9 – Letter In The Mail. This is a great track!
