After years of consideration, I am now ready to announce: "Best JMT Album!" This is it... you are listening to it now... QUE PASO Sure, there are other albums which are deserving... but this album gets the distinction because it is one solid JMT song after another. This album has a very good selection of songs on the playlist, and it has very good sound and voice quality to the recordings. And of course... this album has some of the best JMT lyrics he ever wrote! For those of you who are asking, "Hey! Just who the hell are you to make such a declaration?!" My answer: Just ask Jimmy. Jimmy may not agree with my choice, but I believe he will confirm that he will damn sure consider my submission.
Robert Hayden Not fooled by mocking birds & I’m not fooled by hope. Best line I have heard in awhile. Also I’m thinking to use as a hook in a song “the last time I said goodbye.”
Robert Hayden Amazes me how you are never afraid to stretch the boundries, always squeezing the very last drop of originality & possibility from your many facets of talent.
If names really meant anything, my name would be James Michael Singer. Or maybe James Michael “Show and Tell.” I was a sophomore in high school when Buddy Holly died. He and the Everly Brothers were the first music on the radio that sang My Music. THEN, The Kingston Trio sang Tom Dooley and I headed off to college with my banjo and it was hootenanny time. THEN, Dylan sang BLOWING IN THE WING and turned all of us folk singers into song writers. 1,000 songs later I’m on the verge of eighty years on this earth and music has been the wind I have ridden and the thread that has held it all together for me. Funny, I end up back in Oklahoma. It was off to college from the San Joaquin Valley of California to Oklahoma City in 1961 where I spent 2 years mostly singing and playing in trios and duos if I remember right. School never interfered with the music. Meanwhile 25 years a stage hand on everything from Hank Jr. to Pink Floyd but never interfering with my own concerts and movies and raising a tote bag of kids. You’ll just have to come out Friday night if you want to know more… Talk to me…pyropool@earthlink.net https://www.facebook.com/jamesmichael.taylor.39
