When this came out James and Carol King (pianist) were the best song writers there were....ever. I still adore JT and enjoy his albums I collected as a teen. Huge crush... Still ! ❤️💜💙
Steven Kaplan. Both My Mother And Father Have Passed away Now And they Loved James Taylor. So very much they are ones who give me And My Older Brother Who Has Since Passed Away as well. The Of His Music From when My Dad Brought it home to us in The 70's I have loved it never since then.
For 51 years plus, he's had to sing this at every concert. I wonder how he approaches the song in recent days? What I like about this is that he had probably sung it hundreds of times, not hundreds of thousands of times. Very fresh.
Seen you in Adelaide and Sydney Australia. I grew up listening to your songs as a teenager in South Africa. I love your music, your integrity and authenticity. You rock Mr Taylor!
He looks ripped. He always plays and sings great. But this is so relaxed compared to new music locked into a click track. These guys were musicians of the best caliber.
He's an amazing artist who overcame many personal demons to make a comeback and continue to make great music. Love James Taylor and did since the first Apple Record label album.
I was at this concert... just last night at the Arkansas Music Pavilion. Well, ok, not this exact concert (no Carol King) but Mr. Taylor was in as good of form last night as he was in this BBC concert. Thank you, sir, for taking me back to my younger days... even if just for a couple of hours.
🥀Amazing Song and I love it. I miss the days when we could go back and reflect on memories that we were just enjoying a wonderful day. Thanks James Taylor for sharing your life n love in the music industry 🥀☝️🥀
@James Taylor Learned that very first lyric from a little show called _Family Guy,_ James. Ever heard of it? You were referenced on that show _three_ times! I learned just about all my pop culture knowledge from _Family Guy,_ James, including _you!_ Love you, James. 😘❤️ Stay cool and strong. 😎💪🏻
There must be something not right in the description above - "Country Road" is not from JT debut (Apple) album, but from the "Sweet Baby James"-album (his next album).
Lee, Russ, Carole and James => perfection.
The world stops turning when James Taylor plays.
I agree. I love this song. Time stands still with this song. It's beautiful. It's WONDERFUL!
I would have given up a finger to be in this audience how fortunate and lucky they all were 💥🔥✌️
I'm going to see him live in concert in a few days at Fiddlers green in Colorado can't wait. I have his 1972 album mud slide slim
I too would have given up one of your fingers to be in this audience.
Which one?
God we were so young.
Love this version of the song, I wonder how many in the audience realized what they were witnessing.
W sound system W band W performance W everything
Still.... After all these years..... I absolutely love it... But I love my country roads🌹
I have loved this song from the 1st time I ever heard it. I'm 62. Love You J.T. ❤💙
Me to and I’m 58
Look at JT, Carol and Leland Sklar on bass. Amazing!
I don't know what it is about the James and Carole combo, but there always seems to be some magic in the music. thanks for Sharing James!

Me, too!
James Taylor was my first concert. Hollywood Bowl right when Mud Slime Slim came out. Amazing!

Glad to see Leland Sklar anytime!
Love this song eventhough I was on 7 when he sung this video in 1971.
Great texture. All four have very distinctive styles that blend together so nicely.
Seen you in Adelaide and Sydney Australia. I grew up listening to your songs as a teenager in South Africa. I love your music, your integrity and authenticity. You rock Mr Taylor!
Wow. Amazing the reach that he gets. If you understand what I mean by that.
One of the favorites from the world’s favorite musician!😃💕🙏🏼🎼🎸
Love James Taylor's voice, so soothing and let's one know, everything is gonna b alright ♡
He looks ripped. He always plays and sings great. But this is so relaxed compared to new music locked into a click track. These guys were musicians of the best caliber.
So great that all of them are still with us! So is guitarist, Danny (Kooch) Kortchmar, who also played with James in the early days.
Gorgeous! Thanks James. Thanks for these beautiful dives into the past of our lives.❤
Memories of my youth thank you for your m music
He's an amazing artist who overcame many personal demons to make a comeback and continue to make great music. Love James Taylor and did since the first Apple Record label album.
Absolutely nailed the feeling that passed through my mind earlier today. Thanks, James. 👍
Fantastic guitar playing, amazing song, your singing is beautiful.
Great video.❤
Thanks for your wonderful video.
An incredible guitar player and a fantastic piano player, Glen and Leon were the best.
Great video

Seen him with Jackson Browne in December in Grand Rapids Michigan last year WOW 🤩 ✌️
On my bucket list…..see Sweet Baby James LIVE! Come to NW OHIO!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG TOO MUCH, I PLAY IT QUITE EVER!
Absolutely beautiful music during turbulent times of the seventies
What an ensemble. Carole King on the piano.
Still moves me enough to tears after 40+ years!! Enough said🤗
I melt
I was only 5 years old in 1971. I’d love to know everyone in the audience here ❤
Love this! This song and Carolina in my Mind are my 2 go to songs when I'm stressed. Love you JT. ❤
With Carole King “back there” on piano, it’s like watching Mozart being backed up by Beethoven.
The man editing the video had never heard of her so he only showed her for a few seconds.
Yes!
They had music chemistry when they collaborated. This song transmuted from somewhere else.
Then add Lee Sklar on bass and Russ Kunkle on drums and you’ve got yourself a supergroup of talent right there
She's so beautiful
I love James Taylor he is amazing
🌹Absolutely beautiful.
🇨🇦✌🏻🎶♥️

You're pretty big stuff in 1971 if you've got Carol King in your backing band.
Tak skal du have
🇧🇷❤️
Perfect pitch from his vocals ....
✨💎💓🎸🌹
James chasing the dragon hard here..
