Five-time GRAMMY® Award-winner James Taylor has announced 15 Canadian dates to his upcoming North American tour, which includes a stop at Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre on Friday, May 6. The shows will include material from his latest album Before This World, the legendary singer/songwriter’s first album of new songs since 2002’s platinum-selling October Road. Before This World was released in June of last year and scored Taylor his first No. 1 album on the Billboard Charts.
Earning critical praise from outlets such as The New Yorker who described Taylor as a “master of songwriting,” the album features 10 songs, nine of which are brand new James Taylor compositions. Produced by Grammy Award®-winner Dave O’Donnell, the album offers heartfelt reflections and insight from a life well lived such as the album’s opening track Today, Today, Today, which The Wall Street Journal described as “trademark Taylor: elegant, tuneful and just a little wry.” Other album highlights include Stretch of the Highway and Angels of Fenway, a song about the redemptive spirit of baseball, which Taylor debuted at Fenway Park in Boston.
