o NEW LATE NITE MENU o
Chapel Hill native James Tay
lor had a joyous and spirited
homecoming when he
brought his excellent stage show to
the Smith Center Friday night.
Excellent singing and superlative
vocal harmonies were the hallmarks
of the show, and the concert also
benefited from the enthusiasm of
Taylor and his band.
Taylor opened the concert with
his lovely solo rendition of his mid
708 work "Something in the Way
She Moves," and then moved into a
performance by the whole band of
"Song For You Far Away" from his
recent album That's Why I'm Here.
uSong For You Far Away," featur
ing some excellent steel guitar and
banjo lines, had a gentle, countryish
flavor that was evident at different
points throughout the night. This
song also featured excellent vocal
harmonies between Taylor and his
backup singers Rosemary Butler
and Arnold McCuller, and these
harmonies were a central feature of
the concert.
Butler and McCuller's promi
nence on stage reflected their promi
nence in the show. Their singing was
excellent, and it was particularly
noticeable on songs such as "Only
One," which featured a cappella
vocal harmonies. Taylor and his
backup singers displayed a delicate
and wonderful blend of voices, and
these well-balanced harmonies made
Taylor's slower tunes particularly
memorable.
Taylor was also good during his
more up-tempo numbers, and his
band was able to provide a suitably
lively accompaniment to such songs
as "Your Smiling Face." The band
seemed a little ragged near the
beginning of the show, but it
became noticeably tighter as the
show progressed. The instrumental
arrangements on some of the songs
were somewhat different than those
featured on Taylor's recordings, but
these new arrangements were gener
ally interesting and well-done.
Taylor played a few tunes, includ
ing the title track, from his upcom
ing album Never Die Young. These

songs seemed interesting enough,
but the highlights of the show
involved Taylor's renditions of his
older songs and his covers of other
artists' tunes.
Taylor's performance of "Only A
Dream in Rio" was one of these
highlights. Taylor's voice, strong
and sure during this number, fea
tured the warm and mellow
sounding quality that became his
trademark during the 1970s. His
voice was excellent throughout the
night, but in this song his singing
and his band's playing seemed to
complement each other particularly
well.
An unexpected highpoint of the
show was Taylor's performance of
the old Chuck Berry song "The
Twist." Although this song is not
typical Taylor material, he and his
band managed to provide an
extremely convincing interpretation
of a song that sometimes seems to
border on being a rock V roll
cliche. The band gave one of its
most spirited performances of the
night during this number, and Tay
lor matched his band's exuberance.
He jumped around the stage
throughout the song and even
danced with backup singer Butler.
Another up-tempo number, Tay
lor's version of "Steamroller," was
the liveliest part of the concert.
Although Taylor and his backup
singers provided the central musical
focus during most of the evening, his
band took center stage during this
number. Keyboard player Don
Grolnick contributed a particularly
bluesy Chicago-style piano solo, and
the bass playing of long-time Taylor
sideman Leeland Sklar was also par
ticularly notable. Taylor's singing
featured a harder edge than usual,
and he and his band seemed to have
a good time performing this driving
mix of blues and rock 'n' roll.
Although these faster numbers

audience
were well done, the central focus of
the show was on Taylor's slower,
folk-influenced songs. "Don't Let
Me Be Lonely Tonight," for exam
ple, excellently displayed Taylor's
penchant for sincere and confes
sional ballads. Taylor's performance
of "Fire and Rain" was also
extremely well done, and his singing
seemed as confident as it did on his
recording of this song in the late
1960s.
The highpoint of Taylor's Chapel
Hill concert was, of course, his per
formance of "Carolina In My .
Mind." The crowd gave an uproar
ious response to the opening notes
of the song, and their singing along
with Taylor was audible throughout
the song. The song was performed
at a somewhat slower-than-usual
tempo, and Taylor's band's perfor
mance featured tightly-woven vocal
harmonies and a soaring steel guitar
line. The slow and gentle perfor
mance of this tune made it seem
almost like a gospel song.
Taylor mentioned in his intro to
"Carolina In My Mind" that his last
few days in Chapel Hill "had been
like a trip back in time," and he
mentioned his attachment to the
town at other points in the show.
Taylor said after his performance of
"Carolina In My Mind," for exam
ple, that he had been waiting a long
time to sing the song in Chapel Hill.
He also mentioned near the begin
ning of the show that it was "awful
nice to be back home." Taylor's
happiness at being back home was
evident throughout the evening, and
it enhanced an excellent night of
music at the Smith Center Friday
night.
