James Taylor Performs at Fenway Park for the First Time

james taylorIf you’re a James Taylor fan, listen up: the superstar is about to make history when he performs in the one of a kind venue, Fenway Park. It’s ironic that James Taylor will be performing in the stadium that is home to the Boston Red Sox because he is a devout fan of the major league baseball team. And to further the irony, Taylor has just recorded a song called “Angels of Fenway” that speaks to his fond memories of the Sox and the park. That song, in fact, is heating up discussions all over the blogosphere.

The Song Heard Across Stadiums Everywhere

The song “Angels of Fenway” is about the Boston Red Sox being the underdog and pulls on the emotional strings of anyone who has ever sat in Fenway Park rooting for their favorite baseball team. Last week, the song was premiered at the Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees game, and since then, fans have been weighing in on it. It turns out that they either love it or hate, but there doesn’t seem to be any neutrality from listeners. For instance, one fan said it transcends the lyrics and creates the type of imagery and emotions that James Taylor is so well known for, while fan another called it the worst sports song ever. But even though some fans have been critically harsh of the song, most fans agree that the soulful Taylor has created another memorable song that so many can relate to.

Even though James Taylor is a huge fan of the Boston Red Sox, he has never performed at Fenway Park. But that’s all changing now. Taylor is scheduled to perform at Fenway Park, the home of the Red Sox, on August 6 of this year. Understandably, fans are quickly snatching up tickets to see him perform. He will sing songs from his latest album, including the song “Angels of Fenway, which talks about the angels who reside in the park to look after the Sox.

Bonnie Raitt Joins Taylor at Fenway Park

Bonnie Raitt will be featured as a very special guest during that concert, which will make the evening that much more special for fans. Raitt is another star who has developed a large contingency of rabid fans who will do anything to see her perform live. At Concertbank, we believe that the combination of these two superstars in a venue so well loved is a recipe for a sellout. In fact, as of today, there are only about 700 tickets left, and we don’t expect them to last long.

James Taylor’s New Album

The song and the tour are in support of Taylor’s latest album, “Before This World,” which goes on sale June 16. Some fans are so anxious for the five time Grammy Award winning artist’s newest release that they preordered the album months in advance. This is the first recording that Taylor has released in over thirteen years.  Before this, Taylor recorded Live at the Troubadour with Carole King, which was certified Gold by the RIAA. Rolling Stone called Taylor’s newest album “reminiscent of Taylor’s most enduring work from the 1970’s.”

According to James Taylor, he wrote the song about the Sox’s 2004 win of the World Series, and he says that he is a huge fan of the team. He is most excited, he says, about performing at his beloved Fenway Park. Critics are already calling the event “historic,” and it’s expected that when Taylor takes the stage, there will be few dry eyes in the stadium. Taylor, a Boston native, now lives in western Massachusetts, and with over 100 million albums sold, he is considered one of Boston’s most influential musicians. Although this will be his first time to perform at Fenway Park, he has sung the national anthem three times at World Series games.
