In support of his latest covers album, celebrated singer-songwriter James Taylor will embark on a North American tour accompanied by his full big band. The “James Taylor And His Band Of Legends” tour will feature a rousing evening of music from the latest album One Man Band, a collection of cover songs inspired by such notable recording artists as Chuck Berry, Big Mama Thornton, Junior Walker, among others, along with performances of Taylor’s greatest hits.

Widely regarded as a preeminent musician and storyteller, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee continues the world tour of his acclaimed CD/DVD release “One Man Band” in Europe in April 2008. The tour will include appearances at the Olympia Theatre in Paris as well as performances in Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Lucerne and Rome. “One Man Band” is an intimate retrospective of 40-years worth of songs interspersed with Taylor’s insightful and humorous anecdotes about the people, places and events that inspired them. Recorded at the Colonial Theatre in the heart of the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts, the show, written by Taylor, features performances of such classic hits as “Carolina In My Mind,” “You’ve Got A Friend,” “Shower the People,” and “Fire and Rain” and will make its broadcast debut next month on PBS’s “Great Performances.”

Now, excited to re-engage some of the great musicians he has worked with throughout his career--and with whom he recorded his new album--Taylor brings the big sound out under the stars this summer for the first time in three years. The 32-date tour, which includes his first Canadian dates in more than five years.
