Something In The Way She Moves
Hello everyone - newbie here. I've searched but I just can't seem to find any technical info about how JT's Something In The Way She Moves was originally recorded - does anyone know what gear was used for that or where to look? All I can find is a bit about his Gibson guitar but nothing about mics or any other gear - except wikipedia says it was recorded at Trident in London. To me that guitar tone is just epic.

In my experience, it has little to do with the mic or preamp.
99% of his sound comes from how he plays and whatever guitar he's playing. |

Actually after looking information you posted, I realized that the version of the song that I like so much, especially that guitar tone, was in fact not on that original James Taylor album but on the greatest hits album I've always listen to my whole life. When you referenced the James Taylor album, I just put it on to hear the other tunes, and I was like wait a second that's not the right version. I guess he re-recorded it at some point for the greatest hits album? You wouldn't happen to know where that version was recorded would you? I did a search online, but I can't seem to figure it out

I think your best bet is to get a copy of Timothy White's biography of James Taylor called "Long Ago and Far Away". I haven't read the book but it should be a reliable source of information regarding the details of James Taylor discography. It remains a puzzle to me that so few online sources provide any relevant info re: recording studios and engineers. Then again, pop culture is all about the celebrity status, not the folks who make it possible, IMHO.

You might also consider asking James Taylor about the studio and engineer for the second recorded version of "Something in the Way She Moves" directly via the "Send James an email" button on his website. Here's the link: http://www.jamestaylor.com/discography/greatest-hits/
I, for one, would appreciate an update if you decide to go this route or find a copy of his biography. Good luck on the quest! |

I believe George acknowledged he borrowed the line from James, so no accident.

And for accuracy's sake George Harrison's "Something" appeared on the Abbey Road album and not the White Album.
