Dad Loves His Work is the last of James Taylor's great Columbia run and one of his most underrated. "Her Town Too," the duet with J.D. Souther, became a top-twenty hit and is still the song people reach for from this record, but "Hard Times" and "Only for Me" are among the sharpest, most clear-eyed writing he ever did. The 1981 production is crisp and full - it sounds terrific on a decent system - and the album charted top ten. A quietly rewarding late-period Taylor LP.

PRESSING NOTE

Collectors should know that a Columbia Half-Speed Mastered audiophile edition of this title exists, and it sells for considerably more than a standard pressing. This listing makes no claim that this copy is the half-speed mastered edition. Please study the label, jacket and deadwax photos and decide for yourself which pressing this is.
