James Taylor Is A Dune Messiah
The cover of James Taylor’s new covers album–on which he puts his soft spin on “Wichita Lineman,” “Suzanne,” and (gulp!) “On Broadway”–is another example of the recently resurgent Old White Guy Looks Straight Into The Camera And Ends Up Looking Very Creepy album-art motif.
But staring into those color-corrected blue eyes on that color-corrected Silly-Putty face, I couldn’t help be reminded that Taylor looks less like a steamroller, baby, and more like a guy who is ready to undergo some serious spice evolution and fight House Harkonnen as Muad’Dib, leader of the Fremen, rider of Shai-Hulud, and the one and only Kwisatz Haderach…
