James Taylor and Jackson Browne give Greenville a night of classic hits

James Taylor performs American Standards at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville South Carolina

Greenville, SC (11/16/21) – I truly believe the time of musical legends is a bygone era. Today’s music scene is more about pushing out quick singles over computer made music. That being said, when you have a chance to go see an icon whose career has spanned decades you should go see them. That’s what makes tonight’s show extra special because James Taylor and Jackson Browne have teamed up together for their current tour. Having both artists together on one night is like a dream come true for music lovers. For many in the crowd at Bon Secours Wellness Arena tonight’s show is like a nostalgic trip back in time reminiscing through memories as the soundtrack of days gone by is played out on stage. For others it’s a chance to see and hear music live from artists their parents have told them about or introduce a younger generation to a fading appreciation of real music.

Jackson Browne pleased listeners with classic hits such as “Somebody’s Baby” and “Doctor My Eyes.” James Taylor provided hit songs like “Country Road,” “Carolina In My Mind” and “Fire and Rain.” Browne also mixed in “Downhill From Everywhere” which is the title track of his latest album of the same name released in July of this year and also “The Dreamer” from the album as well. James also featured a new song,” Its’a As Easy As Rolling Off A Log” from his latest album titled “American Standard.” Taylor’s set would feature a band of notable musicians joining his performance including Latin percussion player Michito Sanchez and trumpeter and keyboardist Walt Fowler added nice layers to the live performance. Each set would see the other artist join in for collaborations as well. Taylor would join Browne for hits “The Pretender” and “Running On Empty.” Taylor’s set went on to have Browne join him for a cover of “Take It Easy” by The Eagles, a song which Browne co-wrote with Glenn Frey. Taylor’s wife Kim joined Browne adding vocals to the Carole King classic “You’ve Got A Friend In Me.” Taylor’s son Henry would also take to the stage singing along with his dad for “You Can Close Your Eyes.”
