JT

JT is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter James Taylor. It was released on June 22, 1977, via Columbia Records, making it his first album released for the label. Recording session took place from March 15 to April 24, 1977, at The Sound Factory in Los Angeles with Val Garay. Production was handled by Peter Asher. The album peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States and was Taylor's highest-charting album since Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon. By January 31, 1997, it was certified 3 times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. At the 20th Annual Grammy Awards, it was also nominated for Grammy Award for Album of the Year, but lost to Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. In The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics poll for the year's best albums, JT finished at No. 23. It would be the first and only time James Taylor would place an album in the poll's top 30 during its entire existence. The album spawned three singles: "Handy Man", "Your Smiling Face" and "Honey Don't Leave L.A."
