Like millions of people of my generation, I loved the music of James Tayor from the time I heard singles such as Fire and Rain, and albums like, Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon. However, as I say at the start of this radio program - pulled from broadcast by RTE Radio 1 because of, let's say artistic differences! - I never thought that he would turn out to be such a difficult, at first, interviewee, then, in the end, so utterly fascinating. In fact, this may be the single most provocative interview you have ever heard, or ever will hear, with James Taylor. It remains one of my personal favourites.
