JAMES TAYLOR - ONE MAN DOG

Numbered, Limited Edition!

Over the course of his career, singer-songwriter James Taylor has sold more than 40 million albums, and won more than 40 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards as well as five GRAMMYs. He was inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

James Taylor's fourth album was released in 1972 and it reached # 4 on the US Album charts. The recording is best described as a suite of brief musical experiments, 18 short pieces strung together, some of them instrumentals. The variety of musical styles illustrate the depth and range of James Taylor's composition and performance genius. The album features the hit "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight."

Stylistically, One Man Dog runs the gammut from James' familiar easy folk rock to country-flavored funk to smooth, bass driven jazz changes and everything in between. The songs are playful, unpredictable, and timeless. The medley on side two features such things as chain saws, cross-cut saws and hammers to create a complex, layered rhythm. Absolutely beautiful from start to finish.

All the musicians give a stellar performance including long-time sidemen, Craig Doerge, Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel, and Danny Kortchmar, and a virtual who's who of late-sixties, early-seventies folk rock musicians, with a little jazz thrown in such as Alex, Hugh, and Kate Taylor, Carole King, Carly Simon, Dash Crofts, John Hartford, Red Rhodes, Randy and Michael Brecker, John McLaughlin and Linda Rondstadt, as well as producer, Peter Asher.

You've never heard your favorite music sound this good! The clarity is exceptional, you will hear deeper lows and crisper highs. Treat yourself to a musical experience you've never had before! These new 24KT+ Gold CDs reproduce the ultimate sound of a classic recorded performance without the irregular plated surfaces of standard aluminum discs.

Audio Fidelity's 24KT+ Gold CD series brings you classic music in deluxe packaging with see-through slip cases using original album art, all beautifully reproduced. They only use the original master mixes played back on a specially constructed vintage playback deck. Here's where the PLUS (+) comes in: The analog masters are put through their new proprietary analog to digital converter which reinforces the resolution of the original masters adding true "breath of life" to the music. Without any further sonic manipulation the master is shipped directly to the manufacturing plant for etching in "real time" onto the glass surface by laser. The end result of this unique mastering process is a compact disc with the warm sound of the original analog master tape combined with a genuine 24 karat gold surface free of any type of physical defect making Audio Fidelity's 24KT+ Gold CD series truly one of a kind!
