James Taylor Hourglass Rock Music CD Review

Very talented Rock creative person Jesse James Deems Taylor have released him up-to-the-minute cadmium titled Hourglass and Wow! It's really a good one.

Refreshingly, this was 1 of those CDs I was able to just protrude in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every path is gratifying and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

These years it's a very rare cadmium on which every single song is good or better than the 1 before it. This cadmium is certainly one of those rare CDs.

I give Hourglass my peak recommendation. It just apparent belongs in any serious music aggregators aggregation regardless of genre preference.

While the full cadmium is really very good some of my favourites are path 1 - Line 'Em Up, path 6 - Jump Up Behind Me, and path 12 - Walking My Baby Back Home

My Bonus Pick, and the 1 that got Sensitive [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is path 9 - Up From Your Life. Great track!
