Editorial Review:
The merchant of mellow's first studio album since New Moon Shine (1991), and you've gotta have a heart of naugahyde not to be touched by the simplicity and uncommon wisdom of these dozen tunes. "Little More Time with You" is a trademark Taylor single augmented by a Stevie Wonder harmonica line, "Ananas" is sly and lusty, while the expertly crafted "Line 'Em Up" features a fond recollection of Richard Nixon's "shifty little eyes." A-list guests like Sting, Shawn Colvin, Branford Marsalis, and Randy Brecker add to the charm. --Jeff Bateman

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A 4 star album with a couple of 5 star songs
This is a calm James Taylor album perfect for a late afternoon and an orange sunset. Not like Taylor's older rock albums, it has a more modern feeling, maybe slightly western but by no means country. Being a different kind of James Taylor it will appeal to a different kind of listener, sort of like the difference "Surprise" offers from most of Paul Simon's other work. Good, just a slightly different feel.
On here alot of the songs sound the same, that is except for the first track "Line ... Read More
Rating:  - JT Hourglass
The award winning album is probably one of the top 5 JT albums out there (amongst Mud Slide Slim, October Road, Gorilla and Sweet Baby James).
I use this CD personally for sound quality car audio competitions, as the quality is absolutely amazing (plus JT is my fav music artist). By far one of his best recorded albums along with October Road.
Rating: - 6 long years
Finally....."Hourglass" is James Taylor's first studio Album in 6 years. Released in 1997, featuring great artists like Sting, Stevie Wonder, Yo-Yo Ma, Michael Brecker and Branford Marsalis, Taylor put his heart in releasing this album. The result is a collection of relaxing, melodic and pleasant tunes and songs all related to love and family.
James Taylor is back to the basic of his guitar sounds and tunes and this album is a perfect example to that, showing Taylor at his best; highly recommended ... Read More
Rating: - Sweet Baby James does it Again. . .
Hard to believe that more than 35 years have passed since JT's debut. As one of the most talented of 70's performers, Taylor has consistently turned out material that superbly showcases his enormous gifts as a singer-songwriter. While some have knocked him for being too mellow, anyone who doubts that Taylor can rock should take a listen to his live rendition of "Steamroller Blues" (from his first Greatest Hits album). In fact, I once saw him bring a staid group of tuxedoed award-show attendees to its feet ... Read More
