Throughout the course of his long career, Taylor has earned 40 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards and five Grammy Awards for a catalog running from 1970's Sweet Baby James to his Grammy Award-winning efforts Hourglass (1997) and October Road (2002).  Taylor's 1976 Greatest Hits album earned him the Recording Industry Association of America's elite Diamond Award, given for sales in excess of 10 million units in the United States.  For his accomplishments, Taylor was honored with the 1998 Century Award, Billboard magazine's highest accolade bestowed for distinguished creative achievement.  In 2000, he was inducted into both the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame and the prestigious Songwriters' Hall of Fame.  The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences selected Taylor as its MUSICARES Person of the Year in February 2006.


Taylor has recorded numerous hit songs including "Fire and Rain," "Country Road," "Something in The Way She Moves," "Mexico," "Shower The People," "Your Smiling Face," "Carolina In My Mind," "Sweet Baby James," "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," "You Can Close Your Eyes," "Walking Man," "Never Die Young" and many more.


As a recording and touring artist, Taylor has set a precedent for solo singers/songwriters and blazed a path to which countless numbers of earnest young musicians have aspired.  His warm baritone is among the most recognized voices in popular music and his guitar playing has established its own standard.


Taylor's music embodies the art of songwriting in its most fundamental form.  He has been transforming introspective meditations into lyrics, melodies and harmonies that comfort and reassure the listener with the sense that these sometimes painful, sometimes celebratory moments, are a part of life shared by us all.
