Songwriting legend James Taylor, who was born in Boston, on March 12th, 1948, turns 72 today with a half-century of music that has encompassed and transcended folk, pop, and country under his belt.
In October 2002, Cmt teamed him with the red-hot Dixie Chicks for a memorable episode of the genre-hopping Cmt Crossroads franchise. Swapping lead vocals on their respective songs, the Chicks delivered reverential, harmony-soaked versions of Taylor’s “Sweet Baby James” and “Carolina in My Mind,” while he returned the favor on their “Wide Open Spaces” and “Ready to Run.”

James Taylor is Martha’s Vineyard in the 1970s, campfire circles in the New England woods and sun-drenched barbecues in western Massachusetts. He’s Boston’s Fenway Park and preppy college frat parties in the 1980s and acoustic guitar by the Charles River on muggy summer nights. And today, Taylor, American folk-rock hero with over 100 million records sold worldwide and five Grammys to his name, remains, at age 70, one of the most impactful singer-songwriters in the American music canon, a wistful and winsome troubadour with sweeping cross-generational influence. Just ask any of the gangly tweens sitting cross-legged around a bonfire roasting marshmallows at sleepaway camp this summer while singing “You’ve Got a Friend,” the Carole King-penned classic included on “Tapestry” but made famous on Taylor’s 1971 album “Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon.”
