Stephen asks James Taylor about his longtime friend and collaborator, Joni Mitchell, who overcame immeasurable challenges to return to the stage this summer at the Newport Folk Festival alongside the incredible Brandi Carlile. Special thanks to James Taylor for an unforgettable week sitting in with our house band! #Colbert #AmericanStandard #JamesTaylor
She had to relearn her own songs by watching YouTube videos of herself. She’s an inspiration for us all!
ReplyGet James talking he’s had an amazing life and carrier in music.
ReplyLOL I was talking about Mingus under the other video about James Taylor so it figures that we’re going to be talking about all of that under the Joni Mitchell title.. her Mingus album.. SMH yes… God isn’t a boogie man but our oppressors.. SMH they’ve made their intentions well understood

ReplyNot only did JT play on Blue, several of the songs are about him, as he and Joni were in an intense relationship at the time.
