James was a guest on the Charlie Rose show yesterday evening. In the show he talked about his upcoming performances in Carnegie Hall. There, James will perform four night in different settings. The first night will be a gala, with guest ranging from Sting and Bette Midler to Steve Martin. The second Carnegie Hall night will be about James' musical roots. On this show, among others Danny Kortchmar and Allison Krauss will perform their favorite music.

Apart from that, James announced that he has a new album in the works. After the summer tour (end of July) he will "lock himself away" and work on the album. Therefore, I guess there is a possibility of a release around the holidays this year. However, that is only some interpretation from my side.

James Taylor will be on the new ABC show "Mr. Sunshine" on march 6 where he will perform "A song for you" by Leon Rusell.
