James Taylor- That's Why I'm Here-LP

James Taylor’s 1985 album That’s Why I’m Here offers an intimate glimpse into his life, with the title track "That’s Why I’m Here" serving as a reflective anchor on his experiences. The collection features "Only One," a tender song written for his second wife Kathryn Walker, which found success on the US Adult Contemporary and Canadian charts. This record also includes a thoughtful cover of Buddy Holly’s "Everyday" and showcases collaborations with Don Henley, Joni Mitchell, and Graham Nash, adding layers of harmony and friendship to the mix. It’s an album that balances personal storytelling with polished songwriting, fitting comfortably into Taylor’s well-established singer-songwriter legacy. This pressing from 1985 is a straightforward vinyl edition that captures the era’s production without any flashy extras. The vinyl is in very clean condition, showing only minor, faint paper scuffs that won’t distract during playback. For those who appreciate a smooth listen with clear sound and a touch of mid-80s craftsmanship, this copy is a solid choice. After all, it’s not every day you get to hear Don Henley and Joni Mitchell lending their voices without a lineup sheet in sight.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
