�This set is an intimate retrospective of 40 years worth of songs and the people, places and events that inspired them,� said Taylor. �I am very grateful to Don Mischer, Sydney Pollack, and Hear Music for taking great care with what are very personal songs for me and my fans.�
For the DVD portion of �One Man Band,� Taylor called on veteran television events producer and director Don Mischer (�Kennedy Center Honors,� and �Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show with Prince�) and executive producer and acclaimed filmmaker Sydney Pollack (�Out of Africa,� �Sketches of Frank Gehry�) and their extensive talents to properly capture the feel of the live concerts.
�One Man Band� tells the story of Taylor�s songs through exclusive interviews and rare multi-media footage, including home movies and photographs from Taylor�s personal archives. The result is an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind portrait of an artist, his renowned repertoire and the personal stories behind the songs.
�James is one of the most respected and beloved artists in the history of popular music,� said Ken Lombard, president of Starbucks Entertainment who also oversees Hear Music. �This exceptional collection of songs, combined with Taylor�s unique, first-hand reflections, is a must-have for any music fan. We�re so pleased to have James on our label and to release an album of songs that have become the soundtrack to so many lives.�
