I Love James Taylor and I love Cat Stevens and The Doors, The Beatles. Janice Joplin, Carol King, Joan Jet, Cat Haecker! hahaha and, oh so many more, and more to come......luv cat. and So many more. Lover of Music!
I remember buying the Sweet Baby James album, then Mudslide Slim, then One Man Dog, Gorilla and a greatest hits album...that kind of plaintive, stripped down sound was something I loved. Then I watched him live in London and Manchester. Such a solid musician.
How beautiful James! "That flawless pickin!!...", That particular "amplified ringing sound" of those strings & of course your wonderful voice. I've grown up with your Music. Thank you for making my days much better. Mario 💜😌
His voice is clear as a bell here. Such an interesting song. Almost anything he sings is beautiful. Like the commentary that usually accompanies this.😊
Soulful purity of voice is unrivaled as is his story telling with songs that make you think. And oh my, to play the guitar like that - a distinct and magical touch
Thank you, James, for sharing your beautiful talent. You have been an integral "tune" in the soundtrack of my life. Your music has, quite literally, made my life easier when it was hard, and expanded the beauty & happiness when all was well. A minstrels work completely fulfilled, I would think. Your work, in my opinion, is just another of those "little things" that seems to confirm the existence of an "overseer" that loves us, and wishes us to be happy. Live long, and prosper.
Hi, I don't know if James reads these, but is it possible to ask him if he could release a performance of "The Water Is Wide" from the time of it's original release? It's always been one of my favorite songs of his. Thanks.
I think he played it with the Boston Pops in 1991. I believe it is up here on TH-cam somewhere but it would be great to have that entire performance restored and uploaded to JT’s channel.
That would be a true medical miracle! Kinda makes one wonder if the field of cryogenics has any merit, no? It’s a marvelous song and a fantasy/ mental tickler. Several “frozen men” exist: the hunter prehistoric man found in melting ice, expeditioners on Mt. Everest, probably some in Antarctica, and a cryogenic storage facility. None that I have heard of have actually been resurrected - can’t be done without reanimation by their soul. But fascinating to consider.
Finally, a version of this song for guitar players! What I mean by that is, although the extra instruments are wonderful, there's nothing like getting a mix where the guitar part can be heard (and seen!) just the way it was written. That way, guitar players like me can see and hear exactly how to play this song. Not that it is easy, it isn't. This song has particular syncopations and surprises which are unique, and yet they are very James Taylor-ish. So, I have my work cut out for me! One other thought - Have you ever noticed that camera people are never guitar players? If they were, they would show a lot more of the left hand, and a lot less of the right hand and the face. 🏔🏔🚢🛥🌨❄🎼🎵🎶🪕🎻🎺🎹
That Em9 at the beginning and end is hard to nail down. James even said on VH1 Storytellers that he busted his thumb rollerblading about a year before the performance and “Frozen Man” was one of the more difficult songs for him to play. He nailed it of course!
James is a singular artist, a brilliant lyricist & the last true Troubadour. An American treasure.
The sound person who mixed this piece should be acknowledged...excellent.
Agreed! His voice and Olson guitar sound spectacular here!
Sound man.
Agreed. Best version.. wow
This song leaped out of the album. A stunning tale, triumphant/tragic. Haunting and unforgettable.
The humble genius and kind hearted soul. A living legend who has overcome some demons. Bless you, james.
so glad to hear your music.
always appreciate you
Love this era of James Taylor
amazing song - makes me ponder the whole idea of our time here on earth.
dont ponder too long
I Love James Taylor and I love Cat Stevens and The Doors, The Beatles. Janice Joplin, Carol King, Joan Jet,
Cat Haecker!
hahaha
and, oh so many more, and more to come......luv cat.
and So many more.
Lover of Music!
This song has always been one of my absolute favorites of James. What a truly gifted musician & singer!
What a fantastic song, I love it. The version JT does from Spanish TV, playing the Requinto Whitebook is wonderful. I look forward to this rendition.
James could sing the phone book and it would win a Grammy - such a treasure. Would love to hear “Baby Boom Baby” this way
Cheers to a “Frozen Man.”
One of my absolute favorite JT songs. Never tire of hearing it.
I remember buying the Sweet Baby James album, then Mudslide Slim, then One Man Dog, Gorilla and a greatest hits album...that kind of plaintive, stripped down sound was something I loved. Then I watched him live in London and Manchester. Such a solid musician.
My daughter was 4 and my son was 2 in 1993. Beautiful tones from England, James!
I have always loved this song for the story it tells put to music in such a wonderful composition. Kudos James.
Beautiful !! Perfection!!
❤ beautiful ❤️
What a performance!
How beautiful James! "That flawless pickin!!...", That particular "amplified ringing sound" of those strings & of course your wonderful voice. I've grown up with your Music. Thank you for making my days much better. Mario 💜😌
Wow such clarity from a live performance.
Thanks James, as always 🙂🎸
love you James Taylor
Love JTs sense of humor .. great version! Strong singing and guitar playing…
His voice is clear as a bell here. Such an interesting song. Almost anything he sings is beautiful. Like the commentary that usually accompanies this.😊
Soulful purity of voice is unrivaled as is his story telling with songs that make you think. And oh my, to play the guitar like that - a distinct and magical touch
Beautiful! I am crying for the frozen man, the music is magical.
Now we just need a JT guitar lesson video for this 👍
Damn I love this guy.
I think this song could be turned into a children's book, sort of like Sweet Baby James. It's a story both beautiful and mysterious.
Such a relief to hear JT singing Frozen Man, strong guitarist & voice soothe my heart❤
30 years ago!

One of my favorites!!!!!!!!!!
One of his very best. James is a treasure.

I turn into a child and cry when I listen to this guitar piece and the brilliant singer who composed this song

Hi, I saw your comment and thought I would tell you. The Water is Wide, came out in September, 1991 (New Moonshine Album) 😊❤
yeah, that's a great idea
I wanna hear Water is wide
@@WhitePelicansareRealYes, that was known. That's why I stated from the time of its original release.
I think he played it with the Boston Pops in 1991. I believe it is up here on TH-cam somewhere but it would be great to have that entire performance restored and uploaded to JT’s channel.
Wow I found some missing chords here❤🙏👍

Alas, not yet. The freezing process does enormous damage to internal organs that no one yet knows how to repair.

Good point!🎉
I've dreamed of this day :) (Though, try playing it on DADGAD...for that matter, ANY James Taylor.)
