It takes an extraordinary artist to re-imagine some of the most beloved songs of the twentieth century and make them entirely their own, and it's precisely what James Taylor has accomplished with American Standard. Unlike most who have tackled similar material, American Standard's beautifully simple, stripped-down arrangements are far from old hat, in fact they are exactly what the doctor ordered. A mesmerising American songbook from one of the very best.
