It's not the physics of launching a rocket, nor even the extrapolation contained in that slant on the familiar: it's smooth and expected.
If a Taylor fan, what's not to like? He's done it before, maybe not as focused as this, but in his 'covers' album and across all others, here and there.
I've said it many times, really: one of my all-time favourite songs is JT's cover of Jingle Bells. It is funk-bliss. Genuinely.
None of that here though, and my favs are so because of the songs themselves. So Moon River is beautiful, God Bless the Child is soulful, and It's Only a Paper Moon just about gets in there. Also, Ol' Man River simply to hear Taylor resonate with those bass notes. His voice has sustained its tone over his wonderful time as a musician.
