Sounding like Mom & Dad

Is not such a bad thing when your father is James Taylor and your mother is Carly Simon. This is the good fortune of Ben Taylor, whose first album is being released on Tuesday. And Ben is not at all one of those pissy kids upset by comparison to Dad and instead is quite pleased by the suggestion. I heard his first single on the radio yesterday, a song called Let It Grow, and thought to myself, Gee that sounds a lot like James Taylor, but not quite. Then the DJ came on and named the singer and I said (to myself), Self, you are one smart dude.
