Numbered Limited-Edition 180-gram LP Sourced from Original Master Tapes
Taylor's Emotional Juggernaut and Musical Marvel Simmers With Honesty, Conviction
Recorded amidst a failing marriage, ongoing heroin addiction, alcohol dependency and a sense of fading commercial prowess, James Taylor's Dad Loves His Work is an emotional juggernaut and musical marvel. Long considered a classic of the singer-songwriter domain, the 1981 effort stands as Taylor's last real "great" album and an involving aural artwork that simmers with honesty, conviction and feeling. Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's numbered limited-edition 180-gram LP marks the first time this classic has been properly remastered. Far exceeding the sonics of Sony's CD reissue, this audiophile version lifts up the cover on a world of sound, with Taylor's mellow finger-picked guitar melodies, gently reassuring vocals and bittersweet deliveries brought to the fore.
