I didn't want to believe it....


...but yes it's true! Today, at 6 PM on QVC, James Taylor will be on live selling his newest album "Covers". Sigh.... It's bad enough that the music of the 60's is now being used to sell face creams and laxatives, but this...this is just too much!

New James Taylor album will be all covers
James Taylor, who has routinely supplemented his self-penned chart hits with takes on classic tunes such as 'Handy Man,' 'Up on the Roof' and 'Mockingbird,' is set to release an entire collection of remakes, spanning three decades of pop, soul and country music.

The imaginatively titled 'Covers,' is due Sept. 30 on Starbucks' Hear Music label, and will be available at both traditional retail outlets (aka "record stores") and at Starbucks.

Taylor and his 'Band of Legends,' with whom he's been touring this summer, have put their unique stamp on everything from Big Mama Thornton's 'Hound Dog' and Junior Walker & the All-Stars' '(I'm A) Road Runner,' to Leonard Cohen's 'Suzanne' and Glen Campbell's 'Wichita Lineman.'

'Covers' is Taylor's first studio set since 2002's 'October Road,' and his second for Hear Music. He partnered with the label to release 'One Man Band,' a live CD/DVD collection, last November.

The 'Covers' track listing:

'It's Growing'
'(I'm A) Road Runner'
'Wichita Lineman'
'Why Baby Why'
'Some Days You Gotta Dance'
'Seminole Wind'
'Suzanne'
'Hound Dog'
'Sadie'
'On Broadway'
'Summertime Blues'
'Not Fade Away'
