Five-time Grammy Award winner James Taylor releases 'Before This World', the legendary singer / songwriter's first album of new songs since 2002's platinum-selling 'October Road'. Produced by Grammy Award winner Dave O'Donnell, 'Before This World' features ten songs, nine of which are brand new James Taylor compositions. On 'Before This World', Taylor continues to explore many of the themes that have absorbed him throughout his career. "My sort of self-expression and the autobiographical aspect of my work is a thru-line that links all my albums together," he explains. "I think I have grown musically, and I think people can hear it in what I played in '68, and you can hear it in what I'm singing about now. It is ongoing, it's still me, but it's still evolving." Offering heartfelt reflection and insight from a life well lived, Taylor traces the road's healing allure ('Stretch of the Highway'), revisits themes of recovery, ('Watchin' Over Me'), offers a song for agnostics ('Before This World'), looks at love's mystical properties ('You And I Again') as well as the redemptive spirit of baseball ('Angels Of Fenway'), and the beginning of his remarkable journey, ('Today Today Today'), the album's first track. 3CD - The Super Deluxe Edition consists of a 40-page hard bound book with 2 CDs and 1 DVD. This beautiful and collectable package includes 5 bonus audio tracks, a DVD of the 35-minute documentary 'There We Were: The Recording of James Taylor's Before This World' (Expanded Edition), handwritten lyric facsimiles, new photos of Taylor taken throughout the recording process; plus a free HD audio download of the full album and MP3s of bonus tracks all housed in a numbered, die-cut slip case.
