The crew teams include guitar/drum/piano technicians, riggers, video, covid compliance, stage, creative, production, audio, automation, lighting, merchandise, touring dept., social media etc. These professionals devoted themselves in the midst of difficult pandemic touring conditions to bring you the best show they could every single concert night. A special thanks to Jackson Browne and his outstanding crew, staff and master musicians for helping to make so much of this past year the success that it was. It was a privilege and an honor for all involved to have Jackson and his team on the road for so much of the year. The last shout out goes to the best in the biz: James's incredible All-Star Band who are: Walt Fowler, Steve Gadd, Larry Goldings, Dorian Holley, Jimmy Johnson, Michael Landau, Lou Marini, Kate Markowitz, Arnold McCuller, Michito Sanchez, Henry Taylor and Andrea Zonn.

Produced by Larry Klein, Here It Is: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen also includes covers by Norah Jones, Peter Gabriel, Mavis Staples, Sarah McLachlan, Iggy Pop and many more. Speaking of this project, James gave this quote: When Larry Klein invited me to participate in a Leonard Cohen tribute album, I accepted immediately. Both because Larry is a great producer of excellent recordings and a good friend. And because, like almost everyone in my generation, I venerate Leonard Cohen. As soon as I began seeking out my own musical preferences, Cohen's songs were among my few favorites and had a major influence on my own progression as a songwriter. But because I was slow to choose which Cohen song to record for the project, the available choices to me, were relatively obscure pieces. Still, I was drawn to one that was new to me, "Coming Back to You". Larry was working to a deadline and opted to cut the song in Cohen's original key, which was certainly at the bottom of my own range. But somehow moving me out of my comfort zone helped me find my own approach to the song. Like so much of Leonard Cohen's writing, this lyric resonates deeply with his forlorn and hopeless take on the bleak landscape of love and attachment. So, breathe a deep sigh and, drink up… Here It Is: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen, will be released on October 14, 2022. <a href="https://HereItIs.lnk.to/ATributeToLeonardCohen" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Click here to pre-order now!</a> </article> <hr />   <article id="post-10223" class="clearfix newsExcerpts post-10223 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news" >    <h4> <a href="https://www.jamestaylor.com/jt-on-the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert/" title="JT on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert"> JT on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert </a> </h4>   July 22, 2022  Published by <a href="https://www.jamestaylor.com/author/aaron/" title="Posts by Aaron" rel="author">Aaron</a> Comments Off on JT on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert  <img src="https://www.jamestaylor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/JT_Colbert-jul22-700x525.jpg" alt="" width="600" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10224" /> James will perform a weeklong residency on CBS's <a href="https://www.cbs.com/shows/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Late Show with Stephen Colbert</a> starting Monday, August 1!
