James Taylor --a seasoned road warrior who had scaled back his touring efforts in recent years--is back in full swing in 2003.
The singer-songwriter, currently in the midst of a tour of Australia and Europe, is set to visit about 50 North American cities this summer.
"October Road," Taylor's latest album, hit stores last August, and has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Columbia Music Video recently released a new DVD and VHS titled "Pull Over," which was recorded on Taylor's 2001 tour.
Taylor is nominated for two GRAMMY® awards this year: Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for the title track from his latest album, and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) for "Mean Old Man" (Dave Grusin, arranger), also from "October Road."
The 45th Annual GRAMMY Awards Ceremony will be telecast by CBS from New York City's Madison Square Garden on Feb. 23, and Taylor will be among the performers.
In 2001, Taylor picked up the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance trophy for "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," a track from Michael Brecker's "Nearness of You" collection. He won his first GRAMMY in 1971 for his recording of Carole King's "You've Got A Friend," and another in 1977 for his rendition of Jimmy Jones' "Handy Man."
His 1998 album "Hourglass" won GRAMMYs in the Best Pop Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical categories.
