STILL HANDY, MAN:
Next year marks the 50th anniversary of “James Taylor,” which cut a path for a singular singersongwriter to follow the rest of his career. His honeyed voice and tasteful guitar playing lead the way, pouring through his catalog of favorites — some are originals like “Fire and Rain” and others come from outside sources, like the Motown classic “How Sweet It Is (to Be Loved By You).” He’s joined by Bonnie Raitt, who has been making some of the best albums of her career in recent years. 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Toyota Center, 1510 Polk; $66$100; 866-446-8849, houstontoyotacenter .com.
