Paul did it, Joni did it and now James Taylor? Does it seem strange to anyone else, that they would sell their music through an overpriced coffee shop?

Demographics of those who buy coffee and other products at the shops, plus these are established artists who do not need the multi-national corporations to market new product...and, they will have artistic control on material they probably haven't had in 20-plus years.

Your average James Taylor and Paul McCartney rarely goes into record shops. He does, however, go to Starbucks a lot. with major labels faltering and retail stores doing every worse, the move for major artists to Starbucks makes perfect sense. Many of the CDs are also sold in traditional retailers so it's really a win-win for veteran artists. What can a major label offer Paul McCartney these days?

Of course the older artists are doing it, it's catering to your core audience. Consider those artists' demographic.. now what do people of that age have in common? Coffee! I say, why not, if they are comfortable with selling their music there, more power to them. As long as it's not a band or artist I love, cause then my opinion changes altogether. ;)

They do it because even if Starbucks is over priced millions of people start their mornings and end their nights at starbucks.
