1981 - Dad Loves His Work - James Taylor

45 Years Ago - 1981 James Taylor released his tenth album Dad Loves His Work.

The album's title was a response by Taylor to his then-wife Carly Simon, who had issued an ultimatum to Taylor regarding his constant touring, leaving her home with their two children, Benjamin and Sally. They separated shortly before the albums released.

"Her Town Too" is a duet with co-writer JD Souther and is the last Taylor song to reach the top 40. It peaked at #11, #5 AC, #21 Mainstream Rock.

"Hard Times" is a song that reflects the family dynamics and made #72 and #23 AC.
