Copperline lyrics, that explains a lot
February 6, 2008I’ve long admired the writings of Reynolds Price. If you grew up in the deep South, you would recognize a certain courtly cadence to the speech patterns that he captures like no other contemporary writer, and he gets in a whole lot else besides.
He had some medical problems a while back, and I did a search to help me recall what they were. In the process, I found that he co-authored Copperline with James Taylor.
Yes, that does account for the unique nature of the lyrics, and why they run deeper than the average Taylor song.
