Reviews Customer Reviews for Dad Loves His Work      Nice comeback, JT      Rating:      This album was the follow to Flag, in my opinion easily the worst of Taylor's distinguished career. "Dad Loves His Work" demonstrated that he was still capable of delivering the goods, and for that reason alone this is a very important record. It's not as strong overall as his succeeding albums -- "That's Why I'm Here," "Never Die Young," "New Moon Shine" -- but there are some real gems here. "I Will Follow" and "That Lonesome Road" are stunningly beautiful and Taylor's voice is hauntingly understated on both. "Hard Times," "Her Town Too," and "Believe It Or Not" are winners. "Summer's Here" is good fun. "Stand And Fight," "Sugar Trade" and "London Town" don't measure up to those standards, however. Three stars may not seem enough to some JT lovers, but I'm measuring this against his other work. He produced several albums that were superior to this, but "Dad Loves His Work" really defined a new and positive career path for Taylor in the early 1980's.     Customer Reviews for Dad Loves His Work Cd      James Taylor---A Master of Putting Emotion Into Lyrics and Music      Rating:      I cannot say that there is anything Mr. Taylor has recorded that I do not like. Having said this, I must add that Mr. Taylor, a brilliant lyricist and musician, created songs that touched upon most, if not all, of the feelings I went through in my own divorce. Both the lyrics and the music are absolutely appropriate to one another; and, to me they seemed universal to the emotions that tumble over one another as one goes through a divorce. I would recommend it to anyone who is going through a divorce or any sort of loss, but I would also recommend it to anyone who simply appreciates beautiful lyrics and beautiful music, sung and played by a one of a kind artist, a true American treasure.
