1981 was a bad year for James Taylor. According to Timothy White in his article "James Taylor: Portrait of a Walking Man" (Rolling Stone #345) he suffered a crisis in confidence about his career, got to straits in his marriage that ended in separation and his depression was biting him strongest than ever.
He started the "Dad Loves His Work" tour, that would include the collaboration of J. D. Southern, with the project in mind of doing a Live album that was going to be called "Fish Scales" or "Bicycle Built for a King". Things didn't start very well as James Taylor had a pneumonia so grave that nearly made him collapse during the shows. But always a professional he never missed a compromise, as he has never done in his entire career. The Radio City Hall Concert of that year was recorded but didn't go so well as he should have expected probably, maybe because his comedic craftsmanship was amiss. I wonder if that was due to him having the pneumonia at that time. I don't know, but the fact is that the disc never saw the light.
