Being the fine craftsman that James Taylor is, he has made sure that the album runs the gamut of emotions, with some songs rocking a little more than before. Also included are two songs he wrote for the 1978 Broadway musicalnbspWorking Brother Trucker and Millwork.And for those wondering about the albums artwork, the signal flag that makes up the cover is called Oscar and indicates man overboard, as used in the old maritime days in a situation where a person had fallen from a ship or boat.Flagnbspis available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on pink coloured vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve and includes an insert.
