"Powerful song." Rose Kempton

"This is wonderful. You are a chanteur." Alicia Gradson

Tony Cherry How did you get that voicing on this track? Keyboard?

Right on, JMT. Goes well with the photo

Susannah Garza "Lovely"

"Beautiful song..." Bruce Balmer

Jeremy Menson - Guitar addicts "...brother I love this!"

Five songs in.... I remember listening to Food In My Belly already. So far I'm loving the harmonies. Fireflies. Cracked up listening to Dishes. Sure can relate. Nuno

Nice electric guitar work on Every one I need to talk to. My favorite so far. Same with But The Sun. The lyrics and the melody. Nuno

I remember Johnny Broke An Axel. Loved it then. Love it now. Nuno

Honk: Nice little rocking riff. Sleepy Head: Nice lullabye. Nuno

The 4 shorts Dying's Not Easy, Miss Her, Broccoli and Kite. Like snapshots from and old camera turned to music. Nuno

All in all, a very good album. The melodies and harmonies blending together with the moody acoustic ad electric guitar. A very visual album. Nuno

Nuno Santos Going through an album of old dusty snapshots...

I love the"Mistook Moon" song! Like one of your fans commented, it's both a story and magical! Definitely a sense of the magical. I relate to the voice of the song... my vision is so wonky these days, when I am riding w/ Greg or Shanna (my red-heaired daughter) I have had a couple of screaming scares (terrifying my driver) thinking an odd play of light and shadow was another car we were about to hit full speed! So I can understand, mistaking a train for the moon. Only for me it would have been reversed: I would have screamed and duckedin terror from the moon! Gwyn Henry

What a great song... what a great album. Good Lord, this album has been part of ALL my adult life! Thank, you, JMT... Thank, you, very, very much.

No bs Lyle Lovette? It’s got a cool groove. Kind of reminds me of Ray Wylie or James McMurtry style. Dana Deathridge

...there’s something about Cedrich the Indian that I can’t get enough of. Very dynamic and unexpected. I love when you come in out of know where w the vocals. Dana Deathridge

There are some great songs on this album! Y’all were a trip! This may be my favorite. He still limps Honey child Cedrich (my favorite for some reason. Dana Deathridge

Lordy, I'd forgotten how damn good this album is.

John R. Thielges I think you bring poetry to grief; in an unique way. "Help" and hickory sticks. Thank you.

Raechel Frice James Michael Taylor the story telling aspect of your songs/lyrics remind me of John Denver. This is meant as a compliment.

Paul Smith James Michael Taylor I freaking love your music.

Randy Brown I think everyone was hesitant to encourage the final solution. I love the melody and the sadness of the lyrics.

Dene Colwill You are truly one of the greatest song writers of this decade. Right there with Paul Simon and Gordon Lightfoot in my opinion. All I can say off that sadness and anger is still strong pray to God for peace as only he holds the way to you being able to let b it go. You can't change other people or events that have happened, but you can learn to forgive and change how YOU react to them. If you ever feel nobody cares or will listen, call me. I'll find time and make the time to meet with you or listen over the phone. Don't let depression or anger beat you down for too long old friend. Like Reply2h Active James Michael Taylor I write songs to explain my situation to myself. Considering it all I might just be the happiest person I know.

Lazarus Knight Sometimes you post a song with a link that brings up an album. I don't always listen to the full album because of the rush of life. But I'm trying to remember one of the very recent ones ... I think it (the song)_ was called "Sometime". It is so beautifully poetic and the feeling is passed along so gracefully. It is truly an expression of sweet sorrow, or more accurately, a sweet expression of the numbing pain of loss. It is the thing that my story songs just don't quite do. Lazarus Knight

Brian Gagnon I fought this feeling by staying angry. 30+ years later, I'm still angry.

Tim Tandy The mood of this song reminds me of John Denver's "Perhaps Love." He explained that he wrote it when he was no longer in a relationship but that, while there was sorrow and pain, there was also the beautiful memory of love to see him through. You've captured the bittersweetness -so different from melancholy - of the best haiku poems.

Tim Tandy Whew.............

Haunting. A different take on driving a dark desert highway, cool wind in your hair....Tim Tandy

Jere Reiser Beautiful and Haunting. It is not we, who summon ghosts from the past. Rather it is we who haunt our past. It's like going back to the present. In some instances, I suffer from being the perpetrator and can't avoid picking at the scab. But that's just me.

Ken Gaines Well, my friend, I'm glad you haven't ridden that bullet yet. Meanwhile, I miss swapping songs with you.

I dig it - Raechel Frice

David Young Very sad song but your lyrics are wonderfully written, as always. You are a musical treasure!

Kat Angel Heartfelt and beautiful.

Leslie Young Sad song.

This sounds like more verses to Hey, Regina...

What a sweet song. That guitar figure really catches the time...

Bruce Balmer I like the parallel sixths in the backing vocals.

Tim Tandy Hickory Stix has always captivated me. Dang, I gotta start getting out to open mics again. Might even get the chance to sing that high harmony on the "oohs!"
