Title: Is Jimmie Johnson on tour with James Taylor this year?
Post by: rraymond on May 30, 2005, 06:17:54 PM

I just got tickets for James Taylor when he plays Portland, OR, later this summer. Anybody know if Jimmie is the touring bassist again? I'd hoping like hell he is, I'd love to hear him live.

Oh man, thank you Dave! It looks like a great line-up, and it's capped off with Jimmie himself, s-a-w-e-e-t!

Back in the '70s Steve Gadd was one of my favorite drummers.

Ditto for me: Steve is great! His work with Paul Simon and Steely Dan are particular stand-outs.

Looks like JT again put together an all-star who's who of studio greats for this tour. All due to the obvious benefits of stardom, I suppose, LOL!
