Taylor
JT Early career
Taylor first learned the cello as a child, then switched
to the guitar in 1960. His style on that instrument evolved
from listening to hymns, carols, and Woody Guthrie, and
would later become an easily recognized linchpin of his
sound. While attending Milton Academy, a prep school in
Massachusetts, Taylor met Danny Kortchmar at Martha's Vineyard
and the two began playing folk music together. After dropping
out of school, James formed a band with his brother, Alex,
then was committed to McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts
due to depression. He believes that this action on his behalf
saved his life. He earned a high school diploma while in
the asylum, then left and formed a band called the Flying
Machine with Kortchmar and Joel O'Brien. The band was signed
to Rainy Day Records and released one single, "Brighten
Your Night with My Day"/"Night Owl"; the
song was not a success.
While living in New York, Taylor became addicted to heroin.
After a desperate phone call, his father drove to New York
and "rescued" him. In 1968, Taylor moved to London.
He was signed to Apple Records after sending a demo tape
to Peter Asher (of Peter & Gordon) and released his
debut album, James Taylor. The album did not sell very well
and Taylor's addiction worsened. Moving back to the United
States, Taylor checked into Austin Riggs Hospital in Stockbridge,
Massachusetts to try to break his drug problem. By 1969,
he was well enough to perform live and had a six-night stand
at the Troubadour Club in Los Angeles. On July 20, 1969,
he performed at the Newport Folk Festival. Shortly after
that, he broke both hands in a motorcycle accident on Martha's
Vineyard and was forced to stop playing for several months.
