James Taylor,“Knocking 'Round The Zoo”

Before #JamesTaylor became THAT guy we all know, he formed a band with now well known studio musician #DannyKortchmar and two other fellas. In 1966 the band recorded some demo tracks.

Knocking 'Round The Zoo paints a sardonic picture of his stay as a psychiatric patient at McLean Hospital, complete with a Nurse Ratched-like figure.

After The Flying Machine fell apart,
Taylor went off to England and got signed to #TheBeatles’ new #AppleRecords label, issuing his debut eponymous LP featuring re-recorded versions of Knocking ‘Round the Zoo and several other tracks from those early demos.

After subsequent hit LPs Sweet Baby James (Fire and Rain) and Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon (You've Got a Friend) the Flying Machine’s recordings were issued as an album credited to James Taylor & The Original Flying Machine.

I give you both Zoo versions.

James Taylor, One Man Dog, 1972 on Warner Bros.

This was Taylor’s fourth studio album, with “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight.” 18 tracks means lots of short bits / interludes, some of which can feel a bit unfinished but overall I like the effect.

Performers include Carly Simon and Carole King on backing vocals, Danny Kortchmar, Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel, and John McLaughlin (of Mahavishnu Orchestra) on “Someone.”
