Description:

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

5Very Pleasing 2!!!  Sep 11, 2009
If you like James Taylor, you will like this CD! It has many of his biggest hits and together with his Greatest Hits CD, you will have almost all of his very best stuff! The recordings and song arrangement were good, making for a pleasant listening experience. There were a few lesser known songs (for the casual fan), but all very good. We only wish this CD had included a few more songs. We liked it, very glad we purchased this!

4Great CD  May 18, 2009
As a long, long time James Taylor fan, I've had his greatest hits volume 1 CD for years and years. Honestly, I haven't followed his career as closely over more recently so some of the songs on this CD are not as familiar to me as the songs from earlier in his career, which I enjoy more. However, overall, the CD is well worth owning for any James Taylor fan that doesn't have the songs already from his many individual albums.

4What can I say?  Jan 23, 2008
Who doesn't like a little James now and then. Some of the best music on this CD.

4"It's Good, but where is (insert favorite song here)"?  Sep 30, 2007
Greatest hits packages are not designed for the hardcore fan,period. There are undoubtedly great songs dwelling on the albums these songs are culled from, waiting to be discovered by the adventurous consumer who is willing to drop a few extra clams for the album experience.

Greatest Hits CDs are 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.

5A Great Follow to Greatest Hits 1  Jun 30, 2007
Greatest Hits 1 has been a best seller since the mid 1970s. It is a truly amazing artist who can have a greatest hits album so early in his career anyway. Greatest Hits 1 is a must-have. Greatest Hits 2, along with "Very Best of James Taylor," is another great album. It gives you some of the best songs from albums introduced after Greatest Hits 1 was released, but I do not know how they managed to narrow down this list of songs. Mr. Taylor really needs a Greatest Hits 3 and 4. Good buy.
