(More customer reviews)I was very fortunate to have been a volunteer at the Musicares Person of the Year Tribute to James Taylor on February 6, 2006. It was a spectacular evening filled with great music and a wonderful feeling. I haven't seen the DVD yet, but I am very much looking forward to it. If you're a fan, this is a must have. Stars performed James' music and talked about what his music and life's work has meant to each of them. I loved Sting's sweet and funny story about evaluating his own musical career prospects after seeing James play for the first time.
Performers and set list included:
Sweet Baby James - Paul Simon
Shower the People - Dixie Chicks
Secret of Life - India.Arie
You Can Close Your Eyes - Sting
Everybody Gets the Blues - Taj Mahal and Dr. John
Country Road - Keith Urban
Millworker - Bruce Springsteen
You've got a Friend - Carole King (and James)
Copperline, Shed a Little Light, Fire and Rain - James
Sheryl Crow and Bonnie Raitt also performed, but I can't quite recall what.
I'm sure you'll also get to see James interacting with his wife Caroline and two small sons who were there. They seem like a nice family. I had the chance to talk to them briefly and James is as kind and caring as you would imagine him to be.
I loved this special evening and am grateful to have played a small part in it.
