Never Die Young truly celebrates the songs of James Taylor and brings a genuinely heartfelt and authentic interpretation of his music. The music of JT is in both Sheils and Godwin's DNA; when they met at a recording session, they both shared their love of JT and became instant friends, and at that point, they started their musical journey together.

Never Die Young will take you down that Country Road James Taylor wrote about so many years ago and into his living room with songs and stories that will delight any fan of JT.
