James Taylor brings his signature warm, understated vocals to the holiday season with At Christmas, a carefully curated collection of 14 festive favorites recorded throughout his illustrious career. This 2025 Legacy reissue showcases Taylor's effortless ability to blend traditional Christmas standards with his own intimate folk-pop sensibilities, creating a cozy fireside atmosphere that feels both timeless and distinctly personal.
The album shines with Taylor's creative interpretations, from a funky barroom stomp version of "Jingle Bells" to his French rendition of "O Christmas Tree" ("Mon Beau Sapin"), arranged alongside Dave Grusin and Larry Goldings. Highlights include jazz-flavored takes on "Winter Wonderland" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," as well as his moving cover of Joni Mitchell's "River," demonstrating Taylor's gift for finding new emotional depths in both beloved classics and unexpected holiday selections.
