Reviews Customer Reviews for James Taylor Greatest Hits Vol 2      What can I say?      Rating:      Who doesn't like a little James now and then. Some of the best music on this CD.     Customer Reviews for James Taylor Greatest Hits Vol 2 Cd      "It's Good, but where is (insert favorite song here)"?      Rating:      Greatest hits packages are not designed for the hardcore fan, the person who owns all the artist's albums, nor the fan of albums in general. There are undoubtably great, in some cases superior songs dwelling on the albums these songs are culled from, waiting to be discovered by the adventurous, buck-a-song downloader who is willing to drop a few extra clams for the album experience. Greatest hits are usually exactly that: the best selling singles from an artists career bundled together at a low price for the casual fan. This and vol.1 together are a great start to discovering your favorite "deep cuts" like "Traffic Jam", or "Gaia" (two of my faves). I'm going to buy an extra copy and send it to James Blunt. Editorial Reviews for James Taylor Greatest Hits Vol 2 Audio Cd      Amazon.com      After the frequently dark themes of his Warner Bros. years, James Taylor lightened his approach in the '80s and '90s with gentle affirmations such as "That's Why I'm Here" and "Shed a Little Light." Greatest Hits Volume 2, a sequel to the 1976 disc that has sold 11 million copies, covers this material with a generous 16 cuts. Unfortunately, thanks to the often too-polite production and a couple too many oldies covers ("Handy Man" is exquisite, "Up on the Roof" and "Everyday" somnolent), the work here is uneven and blurred together. A handful of gems do prevail, though; especially notable are "Secret o' Life"--perhaps Taylor's truly wisest song ever--and "(I've Got to) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That." --Rickey Wright
