James Taylor revisited

Johnnie looks back on a classic interview with American singer-songwriter James Taylor.

James Taylor's songs and voice are part of the fabric of 1970's America, his work conjures a certain sound from the decade. Born in Boston, James's albums from the 70s such as 'Sweet Baby James', 'Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon' and 'Gorilla' became classics. Hear him chat with Johnnie about his life and music during the 1970s, in excerpts from an interview aired in 2015.

Johnnie's Jukebox continues, with another listener making a submission to the tracklisting, and Johnnie will take a look at the stories from This Week In Music' with the help of the 麻豆社 Archives. Johnnie will fit in as many of your dedications, memories and requests as he can, as well as another suggestion for the 'BTO'.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say 鈥淪ounds of the 70s with Johnnie Walker".
