Daddy's Smile

This album (James Taylor's 10th overall) is a representative 1980s album from singer-songwriter James Taylor, whose long career began in the 1960s. Produced by Peter Asher, it features West Coast musicians such as Waddy Wachtel (guitar), Rick Marotta (drums), and Lee Sklar (bass). The duet with J.D. Souther, "Her Town Too," considered unusual for a James Taylor song, reached No. 11 on the US singles chart. It also became a hit in Japan, riding the AOR boom of the time.
