#2 Only a Dream in Rio

A bit of a contrast to my #1 and The Blue Nile, but a song I would like to have with me if I was stuck on a desert island.

My childhood friend discovered James Taylor when Never Die Young came out in 1987 (I think). And as we shared music constantly, so I got a bit interested too. Never quite to the extent he did, but enough to find the classics. So this could have been Fire and Rain or Carolina in My Mind or There's Something in the Way She Moves. But I've settled on Only a dream in Rio for pure atmosphere.

This link gives the studio version and a live performance.

Now that IS classy...way to go, man. Definite capacity to evoke memories, that kind of stuff. Transportational methinks.
