'WAS' such a babe? I thought men got sexier as we got older? Oh well. LOL As for his music, it's otherworldly! "It comes from the ether and never truly lands, but lifts each spirit when they hear it." - SIX-STRING SLIM (not to be confused with Mudslide Slim or even Slim Shady!!!).
Oh, I had forgotten how cute he was! I totally fell in love with him when I saw "Two Lane Blacktop". There's a calm, humble nature to his speech. His songs were on the radio all the time when I was young. He's the anti-Elvis when it came to movie actor/rock star. Elvis was this highly glossed product. J.T. seemed more like a guy who brings his guitar over to your house for dinner. I think I smoked pot for the first time listening to Sweet Baby James. Man, are we getting old or what!
JT may be found, almost everywhere with one of his two Olson guitars but that Gibson, J-50 is the guitar, man! I saw a video he just did, with his old guitars in a beautiful window-filled room. It is starting to snow out and he picks up his Gibson J-50 and breaks into one of his original songs he wrote on it, after telling the story of that particular guitar and that was IT for me!
Isn't this really more of a screen test than a proper interview? I think the idea is just to see what he's like in casual conversation and how he reacts to questions, etc.
He's baked man so doped up here. No wonder I am so attracted to him right here as my ex was also an addict and unfortunately a destructive personality. James was not disordered but just had an addiction which he beat. Beautiful man. That's not a cigarette it's a flamin joint.
He had, by this point, had quite the life already! The person interviewing him (and indeed Laurie Bird in another interview) is actor/extra AJ Solari, who also played one of the hitchhikers in this film.
I don't know what y'all are talking about I love this interview you rarely see him when he was in this state when he was in his prime writing even if he was addicted at the time he did great things and continues too he's much older now and look he still kills it live. It's like drugs didn't even affect him because he quit right before it was too late

At his core is a confidence in his talents as musician, singer, songwriter and performer. On top of that layer is the need for close friendships, which need has helped him to develop the sweetness and humor with which he has attracted friends. He isn't obsessed with his looks, but knows how to use his looks to get what he wants. He realized early on in life that he was smarter than most the people around him, and developed mannerisms to make himself fit in with the people around him so that he would be liked and accepted.
look at all the ones that are almost unrecognizable now it's crazy.. Phil Collins Dave Mason Mark Knopfler Peter Frampton Bernie leadon Kim Wilson..so many had those flowing locks everywhere
He strikes me as the type that his music does his talking and he isnt real comfortable just talking with people. At least at the time of this interview.
Idk, it sounds like Maybe the intent was just to have a real laid back, folksy chat like as if you bumped into him in the diner having coffee. But James elaborates on nothing. I kinda like the awkwardness of the “interview”. It’s real
It is a recessive gene carried by the mother which makes a man lose his hair. It should not matter if the gent has faith, proper morals and a value system intact.There are spiritual gifts which far outweigh the importance of long luscious locks.Hopefully you love the soul of the man not just the physical attractiveness in the here and now. I believe that James has become a Renaissance man so focus in on what is truly important. Beauty is fleeting but true character and self realization take a lifetime to develop.The eyes are the true mirror of the soul as the saying goes.
My oh My, poor James seems very unconfortable during the whole interview. He's very shy, introverted, pure and... very sexy. Still listen to his music today, Because of him as well as because of The Eagles, I started to play guitar.
It kills me the way he plays his open D voicing. It can make it hard to cop some of his playing when you watch...Like Everyone She Knows has a hell of an intro
You kidding or what? The other way around? James T. was super nice and accommodating, as well as ‘truthful!’ “Do you like talking about how you write songs? No, but I will, anyway!” And JT says it with a smile! Ask another artists and see what you get! I mean, how can you fault someone for being so honest and accommodating? Wake up, man!
Steamroller is a classic! Its just another side of J T.... you could see James was not thrilled , nor very comfortable with the interview or the interviewers stipid questions. J T is a deep man... best to be quiet, and listen....
Brutal interview....such disease...but hey...this was far before everyone was on RUclips for NO reason. Jame T is forever ! I say this based on his works that will live forever...and his brilliance as a song writer...his unique voicings on guitar and just about anything else you can name...oh yeah...THAT voice...priceless...this video is eh,...and who cares?
JT is a very introverted Guy , quiet but smart. The Guy giving the interview sucked . I was looking up to see what He had To say about Dennis Wilson , but there's nothing here. You had two fine musicians here , but no songs by them on the film , strange. Own the film on disc , Warren Oates tried to bridge Himself with the younger generation by being in this film an two with Peter Fonda .
The movie 🍿 is terrible! I would have Taylor sing at least two songs on acoustic guitar in the film accompanied by Dennis Wilson on bongos. What a waste of talent! The director was clueless! The movie is dull, humorless and mostly boring! Here you hear Taylor 🎤 sing a song that should’ve been in the film but no! One of the greatest singer songwriters of all time is silent in the movie. Ridiculous!
@@dynjarren7523 He's made plenty of records if you want to hear him sing. The movie is a cult classic, which you obviously don't get, he's playing a character who isn't a musician, duh! Dennis Wilson on bongos, lol
God... no wonder so many artists go off on interviewers, they cut out the stupid shit they had to put up with & they only showcase the rant from the artist.
This interviewer is coming on like a real prick. James laughs it off , but if i was there i wouldve liked to have guided him to a more respectful stance instead of watching James getting arrows bounced off his armor.

What a nice guy. Mellow, like his music. People talk about comfort food. He writes comfort music.
He seem so humble and reserved.
JT was such a babe!! & that voice willl make u melt!!
Bridget Harding
He was the strong sensitive tall silent type.
It’s like pulling nails for that interviewer!
Do you think he likes interviews? 😂😂😂

Another huge movie that would be impossible to shoot today..That was another America...
Moonlighting drive😁 across America every 🌃🌉 t night😮😅.
Fascinating look into the introverted world of a young genius whose star is on the ascent.
I love the way he plays guitar 🎸😍💕

Ya old as fuck
Nice to meet you James Taylor
Trouble man...brilliant film and quite the performer...Darkness descending on sweet baby james
Aw, man, the song/performance is/was so good! What a gift..
Guy was a proper dude. We all get old but at least he was the real deal once.
He still is

Totally agree.
Some men are just more comfortable by themselves. Glad to be part of that club.

lol its a great interview
His talking voice is high pitched but very profound tho. Thanks for uploading this, nice video and sound quality
Ele muito lindo e suave em suas palavras!❤❤❤
So handsome and cute
He had, by this point, had quite the life already! The person interviewing him (and indeed Laurie Bird in another interview) is actor/extra AJ Solari, who also played one of the hitchhikers in this film.
Carly was so lucky to be with him on those times 😍
He was sooooo gorgeous
The film and interview were made in 1970 not in 1978. However i think the promo vid of " Riding on a Railroad" was filmed in 1971.
Yeah. I looked at it & it didn't seem like '78 for obvious reasons.
"Sweet Baby James s'been out now 'bout month & 1/2 " yeah that's right"
SBJ Released February 1970
God bless James!
Sweet baby james !
J.T. gets his film debut here! Such originality and creativity as a singer/ songwriter ,great sense of humour.
You can tell James is extremely uncomfortable speaking in interviews, especially if it has nothing to do with his music.
I don't know what y'all are talking about I love this interview you rarely see him when he was in this state when he was in his prime writing even if he was addicted at the time he did great things and continues too he's much older now and look he still kills it live. It's like drugs didn't even affect him because he quit right before it was too late
This interview was made in 1970, it is clear because he recently found out The Beatles split
Well, also the movie Two Lane Blacktop was made in 1970/1971... so there's that
What a great singer
I think he's uncomfortable but also high as a kite lol
I didnt know he was that goodlooking in his younger years
It's the circle of life my friend,..after a given amount of years....you too will look in the mirror and say, "what the hell happened?"😳
Gorgeous!!

Or he didn't, maybe that's just how he is
Lol what?
His son looks SO much like him at this age.
JT is such a prince of a guy, who'd have guessed he was gonna lose that hair!
I know. Looking at the way his hair was back then, I never would have thought he'd ever have the problem of losing it all.
I lost mine, it was fuller...
look at all the ones that are almost unrecognizable now it's crazy..
Phil Collins Dave Mason Mark Knopfler Peter Frampton Bernie leadon Kim Wilson..so many had those flowing locks everywhere
Thats ok..he's still a high quality "product."
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist don’t forget David Gilmore
Soooooo handsome still is!
He strikes me as the type that his music does his talking and he isnt real comfortable just talking with people. At least at the time of this interview.
He seemed so uncomfortable , nice touch with the doobie at the end
THIS WAS NOT AN INTERVIEW ! IT WAS A SCREEN TEST FOR THE MOVIE TWO LANE BLACKTOP
What's up with the interviewer, not very prepared.
Idk, it sounds like Maybe the intent was just to have a real laid back, folksy chat like as if you bumped into him in the diner having coffee.
But James elaborates on nothing. I kinda like the awkwardness of the “interview”. It’s real
Look at what Time has done to us all.
He had perfect hair. It’s a shame he lost it all
It’s Called age dude lol.

@@simonedevlin7710 everyone relax, can’t a guy admire another guys beautiful luscious locks? Sheesh
LOL
@@fallsarian5371 a friend of mine went bald at the age of 18... so no, it's not called age dude lololololololololololol
I once believed in earnest that I had been named after James Taylor
My oh My, poor James seems very unconfortable during the whole interview. He's very shy, introverted, pure and... very sexy. Still listen to his music today, Because of him as well as because of The Eagles, I started to play guitar.
i think hes in character.
He's reluctant.
It's like being questioned as a suspect
So basically he was just playing himself in the movie...cool.
Taylor never looks like he's comfortable with himself, much less someone else
~ 4:33 "Riding on a Railroad"
James Taylor = 70s Christian Bale
It kills me the way he plays his open D voicing. It can make it hard to cop some of his playing when you watch...Like Everyone She Knows has a hell of an intro
AWFUL interviewer.... Poor James has to put up with him ;)
Nope! The interviewer was terrible.
You kidding or what? The other way around? James T. was super nice and accommodating, as well as ‘truthful!’ “Do you like talking about how you write songs? No, but I will, anyway!” And JT says it with a smile! Ask another artists and see what you get! I mean, how can you fault someone for being so honest and accommodating? Wake up, man!
Yes the interviewer didn’t seem to have anything prepared to talk about. He was the one that made It awkward.
Adorable. Total BAE vibes. Hot!
Southern man............

lol what are you talking about this interview is insightful as hell really shows his honesty and headspace at the time its so interesting
lol...that's 1972-3. And must be an early version of Riding On A Railroad.

He grew that moustache very quickly
Show.
Christian Bale could play as him in a biographical movie ))
@3:16 Steamroller song James referred to: ruclips.net/video/3NmO4HFSr1g/видео.html
This guy doesn't know how to interview. JT is very willing to talk.
Sweet baby james is my nephew. I also have a beautiful niece from the history channel. Don't fuck with her.
God... no wonder so many artists go off on interviewers, they cut out the stupid shit they had to put up with & they only showcase the rant from the artist.
Does anybody know where is the house they're talking about ?
Martha's vineyard in Massachusetts
Where are my relatives. Can my mother be respected and have a nice funeral. If not Emmy Lou can't.
The cheesy 70's moustahce
Hahahaha wow, he is so stoned,lol
He seems annoyed at the line of questions.
I don't like the betting on my family members.
Rude comment by the interviewer about Steamroller Blues. Steamroller Blues is a cool song.
It was always a joke song, James hates that people take that song seriously
Do you know any man killers. I do I love the black widow spider
IT WAS 1970 DOPE
This interviewer is coming on like a real prick. James laughs it off , but if i was there i wouldve liked to have guided him to a more respectful stance instead of watching James getting arrows bounced off his armor.
Who was more high, James or the interviewer? Not very interesting.
Heroin 'll do that.
Worst Interviewer Ever!!! Jesus... I'd have just got up & walked away.
This guy sure loved his heroin
so did many more in the day
Is he shy or what? Bad interviewer.to many empty spots.
The interviewer is terrible. He instills discomfort.
What the fuck is up with this guy!?
Moreover, why the hell am I watching it? Never even seen this movie, don't know the first thing about it.
