James Taylor will release an album of covers, mysteriously titled Covers, on September 30th via Hear Music. Taylor will perform renditions of songs that span several decades, including a pair of Leiber-Stoller tunes (”Hound Dog” and “On Broadway”), Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne” and even the Dixie Chicks‘ version of “Some Days You Gotta Dance.” “An album of other peoples’ music is something I’ve been wanting to do for years,” says Taylor. “I’ve enjoyed performing these songs over the years but to record them live in a room with these incredible musicians was just extraordinary.” Taylor and his Band of Legends gathered in a converted Massachusetts barn last January and recorded Covers in ten days. Follow the jump for the rest of the track list.
