About this product
Product Information
In 1970 a scraggly, antiheroic man from North Carolina by way of Massachusetts began presenting a comforting yet biting new sound. Within a year, when young ears sought the latest in rock, there was Fire and Rain and You've Got a Friend, and a new Southern California-fed branch of pop music. James Taylor was its reluctant leader. Remarkably, Taylor has survived: his 2015 release, Before This World , edged out Taylor Swift and went to No. 1 on the charts. Today he is in better physical (and probably mental) condition than during the whirlwind era when he influenced music so heavily, the decade when magazines and newspapers printed feverish stories about his gawky hunkiness, his love affair with Joni Mitchell, his glittery marriage to Carly Simon, his endlessly carried-out heroin habit, and sometimes even his music. Despite it all, Taylor has become the nearest thing to rock royalty in America. Based on fresh interviews with musicians, producers, record company people, and music journalists, as well as previously published interviews, reviews, and profiles, Sweet Dreams and Flying Machines is the definitive biography of an elusive superstar.

Reviews
"Ribowsky (who's also written books about Lynyrd Skynyrd, Otis Redding, Phil Spector and Tom Landry) weaves a captivating tale that includes Taylor's struggles with drugs and depression, his affair with Joni Mitchell, his marriage to Carly Simon and his enduring, decade-spanning success." --Parade, "In this unauthorized James Taylor biography, author Mark Ribowsky covers everything you'd want to know about the music legend." -- Boston Magazine, "[Sweet Dreams and Flying Machines] merits a place on the shelf as it traces Taylor's career through the 2015 release of the billboard chart-topping Before This World." -- Library Journal, "Ribowsky is especially effective weaving Taylor's career into the complex story of the music industry's evolution." --The Washington Post

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
