American Standard: CD
It takes an extraordinary artist to re-imagine some of the most beloved songs of the 20th century and make them completely their own. And that's precisely what James Taylor has accomplished with his brand-new album, American Standard. Unlike most who have tackled similar material, American Standard's beautifully simple, stripped-down arrangements are based on James' skillful acoustic guitar work rather than piano and the affect is mesmerizing.

1. My Blue Heaven   Â
2. Moon River   Â
3. As Easy as Rolling Off a Log   Â
4. Sit Down, You're Rockinâ the Boat   Â
5. Nearness of You   Â

8. Pennies From Heaven   Â
9. My Heart Stood Still   Â
