July, September, and December. One song is called "September Grass", another is "On the 4th of July", and December is mentioned in "Caroline I See You." Then of course there's the title song, "October Road."
Christmas. It's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", of all things! The songwriters were Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane. (Judy Garland sang it in "Take Me to St. Louis.") JT does a quiet, sweet version of the song.
a baby buffalo. This is a really lovely tune, a lullaby/cowboy song. The chorus goes: "Where'd you go Baby Buffalo? What's become of old Cotton Eyed Joe? Holed up, lying low. Long gone come a summertime snow."
Taylor's wife. Caroline is Caroline "Kim" Smedvig Taylor. The Taylors had twin boys, Henry David and Rufus Logan Taylor, in 2001.
a friend named John Sheldon. It's the first song on the album, "September Grass." The first three songs have month titles.
It's an optimistic song about homecoming and the autumn of life.. This sounds pretty optimistic to me: "Oh promised land and me still standing. It's a test of time. It's a real good sign."
the Dixie Chicks. He sang lead on some of their songs, and Natalie Maines, the Dixie Chicks' lead singer, belted out some of his. The three Dixie Chicks seemed absolutely thrilled to be playing with JT, and he seemed glad to be there, too. It was a wonderful show that first aired on Friday, October 18 on Country Music Television.
stores or shopping centers. The song "On the 4th of July" is about a courtship: "...we started as friends who would run into one another now and and again at the Yippee Cai O and the Mesa Dupree or a dozen different everyday places to be."
Belfast to Boston. This is a poignant anti-war song with Celtic background music. The wrong answers are phrases from the lyrics.
separation from one's family. The presumably tongue-in-cheek lyrics say: "God bless the child that can learn to live alone." It's a funny, bluesy song in the "Steam Roller" vein.
Walking Man. "Soft as smoke and tough as nails. Box car Jones. Old walking man." It's "one more highway song" about a drifter.
a golden retriever puppy dog. After the song ends, JT says, "Who's a good boy?" the way you say it to your dog.
Ry Cooder. Taylor said in an interview that he was trying to make the guitar part sound like Ry Cooder. Then he just gave up and asked Ry Cooder to play it himself.
Hourglass. "Hourglass" came out in 1997, so Taylor's fans had a long wait for "October Road." In my opinion, it was worth the wait.
It's a bittersweet song about past mistakes and current worries.. What a lovely song this is! Here are some of the lyrics: "I worry about my actions. I think about the damage I do. I've seen the coming attractions. Armageddon and Waterloo." If you are a James Taylor fan, you MUST get this album. You won't be sorry.
