Cl Critic Hal Horowtiz Recommends: Who doesn’t like James Taylor? Even though he hasn’t released any popular albums in decades, the 75 year old — who virtually defined the folk/pop singer/songwriter genre in the early ‘70s — still fills sports arenas with his cushy, Lazy-Boy® vocals and enough great catalog tunes that began with “Fire & Rain” for an audience of his generation to sing along with. His last album of originals was in 2015, 13 years after the previous one. That doesn’t matter when you have a songbook as thick and impressive as Taylor’s. With an amazing band supporting him, which includes a horn section propelled by drummer Steve Gadd, you’ll get your money’s worth. — HH
