James Taylor - Long Ago And Far Away
Review by robert berson
Long Ago and Far Away by James Taylor is a timeless classic that showcases the singer-songwriter's musical prowess and lyrical genius. The album, released in 1974, features some of Taylor's most beloved songs, including "You've Got a Friend," "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," and "Only a Dream in Rio."
The album's title track, "Long Ago and Far Away," is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that captures the essence of nostalgia and longing. Taylor's soulful voice and intricate guitar work are on full display throughout the album, and his lyrics are both poetic and deeply personal.

Summary by robert berson
Comments
Great song!!!
Joni Mitchell is doing back up Vocals which makes this song F ING perfect thank you very much!
However the picture at the same time hurts my eyes because it's so bloody tacky!
Still sounds as good as ever...Great artist.
First time I've heard this song in years. How did I let myself drift away from this? It's exquisite.
Well produced. Joni's background harmonies really make it. If Carol is in there, its not her voice you hear.
I love Joni Mitchell being here on this they are both from the same clock being on this they're from the same cloth.
Haven't you baby boomers figured James out? He is our therapist when everything goes wrong. And the best part of it, he doesn't charge a penny.
But what were his tender dreams . Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend . I was told his dreams were about making it big in the music Business with his band The Flying Machine but this band broke up and just become bits of broken glass . Just a misbegotten guess thinking the The band the Flying Machine would take off and fly away .
