Spare, understated, and beautiful, "Something in the Way She Moves" set the tone for Taylor's career. It's only appropriate that the One Man Band concert opened with "Something in the Way She Moves," the song that secured Taylor his first record contract for The Beatles' Apple Records - and the song that inspired one of Beatle George's own greatest compositions. The live album documenting the small-scale yet mightily moving Pittsfield concerts has now been reissued as a 2-LP, 180-gram vinyl set from Craft Recordings, following recent, stellar releases from Craft sister imprint Analog Spark of Taylor's Columbia albums New Moon Shine, Hourglass and October Road. Joined only by keyboardist Larry Goldings, Taylor treated audiences to a tour through his songbook that amounted to a master class in musical storytelling. In 2007, the tour culminated in a series of shows at Pittsfield, Massachusetts' small, 775-seat Colonial Theatre, a true homecoming for the famous Massachusetts native. The One Man Band tour took James Taylor on the road for three years of unusually intimate performances, even by the standards of the guitar-wielding troubadour.
