New Good Song: "Montana," James Taylor 7.25.15

Here's a new good song: "Montana" by James Taylor. He has returned with an album of new material, "Before This World," which impressively went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart a couple weeks ago. "Montana" is a track off that record I happen to prefer, perhaps because I, like the protagonist, find myself often pining for a simpler, more rural life. I also happen to adore Montana. Since I was a boy, I dreamed of going there, and I finally made it happen a few years ago, when I stayed at a ranch for several days and had one of the best times of my life. My only criticism of this song is the oddly abrupt ending, but prior to that it's very nice. Enjoy.
