  In 1991, James Taylor was enjoying a successful resurgence in his career with the release of the album "New Moon Shine," which featured the song "Copperline." This particular period marked a significant time for Taylor, following a successful tour where he had reestablished himself as a major presence in the music scene after a relative lull in the 1980s. The late 1980s saw him increasingly return to live performances, invigorating his fan base with regular tours, particularly in outdoor amphitheaters. "New Moon Shine" showcased his ability to craft introspective and melodic tunes, and "Copperline" became one of the memorable tracks that highlighted his deep connection to his roots and storytelling. The live performance captured in the January 1991 video reflects Taylor's mastery in delivering emotionally resonant music, further solidifying his status as a beloved singer-songwriter.
