James joined his big brother $leA<s band, The Fab?lo?s Corsairs, when the >amily ret?rned to Chapel &ill. They made very little money playing >raternity parties and high school dances, b?t it was that live eAperience that gave James the p?sh he needed with the Fender g?itar that had replaced its bl?e predecessor.

The alb?m hit platin?m stat?s by October and garnered >ive "rammy nominations. 5itho?t B?estion, the song that resonated most deeply with its listeners was CFire $nd #ain,D a deeply personal, almost pain>?lly melancholy song that set the tone >or an alb?m that wo?ld change songwriting >or many years a>terward. Fans hypothesi@ed and arg?ed abo?t its sometimes literal, sometimes metaphorical meaning and seldom got it B?ite right. They only knew it spoke to them, inspiring many to pick ?p the g?itar = o>ten >or the >irst time = and try to em?late what they<d heard. The story behind CFire $nd #ainD has reached the point o> legend now, in spite o> JT<s calm ass?rances that it<s really not all that di>>ic?lt to ?nderstand. )ost commonly, stories are told o> the girl>riend, .?@anne, who the band had arranged to >ly to meet JT as a s?rprise while on to?r. &er plane crashed, the legend goes, and the tragedy o> it all inspired JT to speak o> C>lying machines in pieces.D The tr?th, o> co?rse, is somewhat di>>erent. JT eAplains that the song is really abo?t three separate times in his li>e = three hard times when he tho?ght abo?t giving ?p. .?@anne was either a >riend he<d known at $?sten #iggs or a >riend o> dr?mmer Joel O< rien<s brother. !n either case, JT<s band members heard abo?t her s?icide, b?t at the time they decided he was too str?ng o?t on dr?gs to deal with the loss. JT wasn<t told abo?t it ?ntil a>ter he<d >inished his deb?t alb?m in +ondon and ended ?p writing the song while dealing with his grie>. 8erse two chronicles the "reenwich 8illage dr?g scene, and verse three re>ers to his escape to +ondon and event?al recovery. The o>ten-mis?nderstood C>lying machines in piecesD re>erred to the break?p o> his band, The Flying )achine, tho?gh the alternate eAplanations persist. The alb?m<s title song inevitably became connected to JT himsel>, tho?gh it<s only partially abo?t him. The original .weet aby James was brother $leA<s son James, who was named a>ter his ?ncle. JT 7

says the song came to him d?ring a long solo drive on the way to see his nephew >or the >irst time. The res?lt was Csimply one o> the best l?llabies ever composed,D according to the (:0( Time story. Fans may not have known what to think abo?t C.teamroller,D tho?gh. ,estled between the lighthearted C.?nny .kiesD and the characteristically easygoing CCo?ntry #oadD was an ?nmitigated bl?es t?ne with lyrics that seemed downright lewd in comparison to the alb?m<s other t?nes. The story behind the song goes back to JT<s Flying )achine days at the ,ight Owl, and he<d invariably la?nch into the long-winded eAplanation at his early shows. The story was clearly as well rehearsed as the song, with only the slightest variation in wording at each telling. &ere, in JT<s own words, is the eAplanation >or C.teamrollerD as transcribed >rom the (:0; JTJJoni )itchell C radio show bootlegE 5e played this eight-month long gig at a place called the ,ight Owl Ca>e down in "reenwich 8illage in ,ew 'ork. !t ?sed to be a )c2o?gal and Third, b?t it might have moved since then. ! don<t know. $nyhow, at that time there were a lot o> so-called bl?es gro?ps in ,ew 'ork City, yo? knowK $nd they were making a lot o> noise with electric g?itars and ampli>iers that their parents had bo?ght them >or Christmas and birthdays and st?>>.

Fans who hadn<t heard JT<s eAplanation probably co?ldn<t tell i> he was serio?s or not, b?t they loved it regardless. ,ow, three decades later, the song is a permanent >iAt?re o> JT<s perennial live shows and the only live per>ormance on (:0-<s enormo?s-selling C"reatest &its.D The alb?m ended with tong?e >irmly in cheek. C.?ite For /;",D according to JT, was a last-min?te composition to >ill the last slot on the new alb?m. They needed one more track, so James hastily stitched together some bits and pieces o> songs he<d been working on and the band recorded it. The name re>ers to the >act that on completion o> C.weet aby JamesD they<d receive a P/;,;;; advance >rom 5arner rothers. $nd the money kept coming. The alb?m hit n?mber one on the charts, gained platin?m stat?s by October o> that year, and remained a bestseller >or two solid years. &is career solidly on its way, JT hit the road on his >irst to?r and ina?g?rated what wo?ld be a way o> li>e >or him >or the neAt three decades. ,otable per>ormances >rom that era incl?ded an $pril /4 per>ormance at &arvard and a live C per>ormance with Joni )itchell. oth shows were bootlegged and the latter is one o> the more common ?na?thori@ed JT recordings = ?s?ally titled either C!n %er>ect &armonyD or some variation on C'o? Can Close 'o?r *yes.D *arly in (:0( the >irst p?blic release o> the abortive Flying )achine alb?m hit the streets in an obvio?s e>>ort to get a piece o> the phenomenal C.weet aby JamesD sales. 1ndo?btedly it was done witho?t JT<s permission, b?t the vario?s labels that distrib?ted it and bootlegged it didn<t seem to worry. $t least >o?r di>>erent vinyl versions were released = a co?ple o> which were nothing b?t eAtremely poor B?ality copies with new cover art. $ legal (::release on C2 by "ad>ly #ecords made the recording widely available >or the >irst time since the I0;s, b?t ineAplicably incl?ded embarrassing over-prod?ced remiAes o> two tracks in addition to the original ?npolished tracks. +ater pressings o> the C2 ditched the remiAes and stayed tr?e to the >irst release.

The Time cover story hit newsstands in )arch (:0(, >?rther solidi>ying JT<s dominance o> what was being called CThe ,ew #ock.D )arch also saw the release o> JT<s one and only starring role in a >ilmE Two Lane Blacktop. C?lt >ilm director )onte &ellman asked JT to join C each oyD 2ennis 5ilson, 5arren Oates, and +a?rie ird in an avant-garde road movie that seemed heavily in>l?enced by (:-:<s Easy ider. !n interviews, JT reveals his bitterness abo?t the eAperience o> per>orming in a >ilm where he had no creative control. &e and the other actors weren<t even given a complete script. !nstead, &ellman handed them j?st the neAt day<s dialog?e, then asked to per>orm almost as an improvisation. The res?lts generally didn<t impress a?diences or critics, tho?gh JT<s >emale >ans probably >o?nd a little more to like abo?t the >ilm thanks to his eAtensive screen time and sho?lder-length locks. 5hile Two Lane Blacktop didn<t contain any JT m?sic, the >r?strating eAperience o> acting did inspire JT<s C#iding On a #ailroadD on his neAt 5arner rothers alb?m, C)?d .lide .lim $nd the l?e &ori@onD G(:0(H. $nother %eter $sher prod?ction, the alb?m<s +os $ngeles recording sessions spanned almost two months and incl?ded big contrib?tions by two o> JT<s leading >emale contemporaries, Joni )itchell and Carole 6ing. )itchell sang back?p on three o> the tracks, b?t it was 6ing<s C'o?<ve "ot $ FriendD that wo?ld have the biggest e>>ect on the alb?m and the longest in>l?ence on JT<s still-yo?ng career. JT tells the story o> how he came to sing the song that wo?ld become one o> his best-known hits and a certi>ied "old-selling single. &e<d heard 6ing per>orm it and complimented her on the t?ne, so she s?ggested he per>orm it, too. &e did, b?t now jokes that he might j?st have reconsidered it i> he<d known he<d be singing it every night >or the neAt thirty years. &e certainly didn<t have m?ch to complain abo?t, tho?gh. The song was the alb?m<s stando?t hit = a >act made all the more o>>icial early the neAt year when JT was presented with the C est %op 8ocal %er>ormance, )aleD "rammy and 6ing won the C.ong o> the 'earD "rammy >or the same song. 5hile 6ing did appear elsewhere on the C)?d .lide .limD alb?m, she didn<t per>orm on JT<s recorded version o> her 9

song. +ive per>ormances were a di>>erent matter, tho?gh. JT<s s?pporting to?r >or the alb?m incl?ded 6ing along with 6ootch<s band, Jo )ama, and played to sold-o?t a?diences in /0 1... cities. The alb?m didn<t earn its platin?m stat?s on the strength o> j?st one track, either. Two Lane Blacktop-inspired C#iding On $ #ailroad,D and the ha?ntingly bea?ti>?l C'o? Can Close 'o?r *yesD both helped to cement JT<s rep?tation as a songwriter. Fans got more than the simple, ?pbeat message o> C'o?<ve "ot $ FriendD and yo?nger alb?m b?yers appreciated the alb?m<s melancholy, even bitter songs j?st as readily. +ike C#iding On $ #ailroad,D C&ey )ister, That<s )e 1p On The J?keboAD tells a tale o> an artist lost among the machinery o> big b?siness that threatens to overshadow his creativity. 5hat<s become a common re>rain today = how an artist can still str?ggle to >ind happiness amid overwhelming >inancial s?ccess = had rarely been asked p?blicly ?ntil then. !t<s a B?estion JT is still addressing in his m?sic and interviews to this day. (:97<s CThat<s 5hy !<m &ereD title track covered similar gro?nd, b?t with the bene>it o> hindsight JT paints a pict?re o> a career and a li>e in which the good overshadowed the bad and the pleas?res o> creating m?sic >or an a?dience bring him joy over and over again. J?st when it seemed JT<s >ame had peaked, tho?gh, he began a tenyear romance that was among the most closely >ollowed and p?blicly reported as any o> its day. JT had known Carly .imon and her well-heeled >amily Go> .imon and .ch?ster p?blishers >ameH since his boyhood days on )artha<s 8ineyard. 5hen they married on ,ovember 3, (:0/ it ignited a >irestorm o> media attention that wo?ld last thro?gho?t their ten-year involvement and beyond. !n a hand>?l o> print interviews given together, JT and Carly revealed what it was like to live as a ho?sehold o> two rock stars with separate careers that sometimes complemented and o>ten competed. 5hen one scored a hit with an alb?m, the other o>ten wilted. oth admitted varying levels o> jealo?sly and resentment that sometimes b?bbled to the s?r>ace in spite o> their sta?nch loyalty to each other. :

$lmost >rom the beginning, eAternal press?res and internal demons threatened to p?ll them apart. &is dr?g habit still not >?lly behind him, JT str?ggled to relate to a wi>e who had managed to avoid dr?gs all her li>e. $t the same time, his career was showing no signs o> slowing = and neither was he. *ven a>ter the arrival o> their da?ghter .arah G.allyH and son enjamin, JT contin?ed to to?r eAtensively. Carly readily and p?blicly admitted that it bothered her, tho?gh it didn<t keep him >rom going o?t year a>ter year. )eanwhile, JT released an alb?m in (:0/ that ret?rned to the kind o> eAperimentation that had characteri@ed his $pple deb?t alb?m. The alb?m title = originally COne )an %aradeD like the >irst track = was changed >or no good reason at the last min?te, says James. COne )an 2ogD was a moderate critical s?ccess, b?t its patchwork B?ilt o> m?sic styles and instr?mental interl?des didn<t incl?de many strong radio hits. The one eAception, C2on<t +et )e e +onely Tonight,D was incl?ded on the (:0- C"reatest &itsD alb?m. The alb?m<s long list o> backing voices incl?ded Carole 6ing, +inda #onstadt, Carly, and Taylor siblings $leA, &?gh and 6ate. )?ch o> the alb?m took shape in JT<s r?stic cabin = and even j?st o?tside o> itE C+ittle 2avidD opens with the so?nd o> a roaring chainsaw, which JT claimed he was able to coerce into hitting speci>ic m?sical notes a>ter a little practice. The recording sessions weren<t witho?t controversy, tho?gh. $ disclaimer in the liner notes accompanied James< dr?g-inspired C)escalito,D reading CThe opinions eApressed in this song are not necessarily those o> the s?pporting m?sicians and backgro?nd vocalists.D &aving had a co?ple years to try and reach eB?ilibri?m in their personal and artistic partnership, James and Carly<s closely scr?tini@ed marriage hit a >ever pitch o> p?blicity on the release o> their most s?ccess>?l collaboration. C)ockingbirdD was a stando?t track on Carly<s C&otcakesD alb?m and was also a certi>ied "old single on its own. The song became synonymo?s with the pair, drawing ecstatic a?diences to their >eet whenever the two per>ormed it live. They didn<t lack >or opport?nities, either, since James la?nched a >o?r-week 1... to?r in $pril (:04 to promote the (;

J?ne release o> C5alking )an.D C5alking )anD was one o> JT<s most thematic alb?ms, with tracks like C)igration,D CFading $way,D and the title track eAploring the emotions o> a?t?mn and Cthe coming o> winter,D according to JT. The alb?m also saw the ret?rn o> %a?l )cCartney as a collaborator >or the >irst time since JT<s deb?t alb?m. One track, tho?gh, may have been too topical. The poignant, politically charged lyrics o> C+et !t $ll Fall 2ownD drew cheers o> approval >rom disill?sioned $mericans who shared JT<s disg?st with %resident ,iAon and the 5atergate scandal. ?t the day a>ter the song<s release as a single Gas a -side >or C2addy<s abyDH ,iAon resigned and the sentiment lost its p?nch. The single >i@@led and did little to help the alb?m<s sales. To?ring did help, tho?gh, and James set o?t >or a second s?pporting to?r in J?ly with The )anhattan 2irt #iders and +inda #onstadt. !n late (:04 JT started the process or recording C"orillaD in +os $ngeles. O> the eleven tracks, C)eAicoD was the hit that wo?ld stick with JT most consistently >or the rest o> his to?ring career. JT told +ee@a "ibbons in (::/ that C)eAicoD came to him while taking a break d?ring the recording o> the alb?m. C! went down to spend a long weekend in )eAico with some >riends down in %?erto 8allarta and while ! was down there, this thing j?st ... sometimes yo? go some place, yo? knowKD C"orillaD hit stores in )ay (:07, with 2avid Crosby and "raham ,ash adding harmonies to C)eAicoD and C+ightho?se.D JT<s cover o> the &ollandJ2o@ierJ&olland hit C&ow .weet !t !s GTo e +oved y 'o?HD got good airplay and later joined C)eAicoD on (:0-<s C"reatest &its.D !n )ay (:04 JT played Carnegie &all with special g?ests 2avid Crosby and Carole 6ing.

The move had many reperc?ssions, b?t none bigger than 5arner<s decision to milk their relationship with JT one last time with the release o> a greatest hits collection.
