(PR) Hear Music will release James Taylor�s �One Man Band� on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at all Starbucks Company-operated locations and traditional retailers in the U.S and Canada. �One Man Band� will be released globally at traditional retail on November 26, 2007. �One Man Band,� a new CD/DVD set, marks a return to an earlier, simpler style of performance for the quintessential singer-songwriter.

The DVD, produced and directed by Don Mischer (�Kennedy Center Honors,� and �Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show with Prince�) and executive produced by Sydney Pollack (�Out of Africa,� �Sketches of Frank Gehry�), helps tell the stories behind some of Taylor�s most beloved hits through exclusive interviews, rare multi-media footage, home movies and photographs from Taylor�s personal archives. The result is an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind portrait of an iconic American artist, his renowned repertoire and the personal stories behind the songs.

�This project has been working in my mind for years,� says Taylor. �Performing these songs in their original, stripped-down form in small halls is like going to the well for water. It reconnects me to the music and puts me back in touch with the audience.�

Mr. Taylor began his career in the late-�60s with a guitar, a suitcase and a handful of original songs. On �One Man Band,� Taylor returns to this spirit and showcases material over the past 40 years from �Something in the Way She Moves,� �Carolina In My Mind,� �Fire and Rain,� right up to �Mean Old Man� and �My Traveling Star� from Taylor�s most recent release �October Road.� Filmed at recent concerts at the Colonial Theatre in the Berkshires, the performances feature insightful and humorous anecdotes on the inspiration for the songs.
