Stunningly lame

covers

Just saw a TV commercial hyping the new James Taylor album in which he covers a dozen songs made hits by someone else.

The snippets featured in the commercial are some of the most forgettable music I've heard in years.

And to cap it off, the commercial calls James Taylor "the finest singer-songwriter of our time."

Oh, really?

I guess they never heard of Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson, Prince, Toby Keith, David Bowie, Billy Joel, Pete Townshend, Neil Sedaka, hell, even Weird Al Yankovic.
