Free Break Shot: My First 21 Years: An Audio Memoir by James Taylor Audiobook
"I'm James Taylor, and I'm a professional autobiographer." So begins the tender audio memoir Break Shot: My First 21 Years. Through decades of songs by the celebrated folk legend who brought us "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out details of his life in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail. Combining storytelling, music and performance, this one-of-a-kind listening experience also features a crop of musical gems, including an unreleased recording of the beloved hymn "Jerusalem" and selections from his newest release, American Standard, as well as new original scoring by Taylor specially recorded for Break Shot and more.
Recorded in his home studio, TheBarn in western Massachusetts, Break Shot tells the deeply personal story of Taylor's youth, which is entwined with the story of his family. What started as an idyllic tight unit soon became a family sent to different emotional corners - like a break shot in the game of pool, he says, "when you slam the cue ball into the 15 other balls and they all go flying off".
