Two days later , Taylor announced the forthcoming release of '' Safe Home '' which was officially released on March 3 , 2017 . The album was recorded in an abandoned church in Brooklyn , New York with musicians Shelly Berg on piano , David Finck on bass , Bashiri Johnson on percussion and Chelsea Berry providing vocals . Like Taylor 's previous album '' Blue Sky '' , '' Safe Home '' includes original songs as well as show tunes by Rodgers and Hammerstein and others . In his review of the album , Jason Warburg wrote : " That ’s what the aptly-named '' Safe Home '' feels like : an impromptu after-dinner living room concert with Livingston Taylor and friends . Taylor ’s voice has that rich , unique timbre of New England-by-way-of-North-Carolina that he and his brother James have made famous , lending both his vocals and his superb acoustic guitar picking a sense of instant familiarity and comfort . " Cover songs include Paul McCartney 's " Penny Lane " , Irving Berlin 's " Anything You Can Do " and the Everly Brothers " Bye Bye Love " . Warburg wrote that the opening song , “ I Must Be Doing Something Right ” , a Taylor original , " has the timeless feel of a Cole Porter tune " . In his review , Harris Fogel wrote : " this is a lovely collection of tunes , smooth , gentle , and relaxing . This is quiet , confident yet not showy musicianship . The guitar solos , the bass lines , vocals and percussion all work together to create a quiet intimate experience . Highly recommended for the Gentle and Loving People in Your Life . " On April 4 , 2017 Taylor announced a crowdfunding campaign to help finish a documentary about his life directed by Tracey Anarella to be released in the fall , 2017 . Peter Fish , co-executive producer of the documentary , provided this description on the campaign website : " One part Mark Twain , one part WC Fields , one part musical icon - an icon who is a large part of America 's first music family , one part iconoclastic and beloved professor giving back to the music that nurtured him , and most importantly , a man whose life is testament to the concept that ' Life IS Good ' . An airplane-flying , motorbike-riding , singing-guitar/piano-man , dead set on enriching the world he inhabits . Liv represents a unique type of modern guide as to how one 's life could be a very good life by being inquisitive , smart , and grabbing life by its collar and never letting go . Indeed , there is no one like Liv . " Various perks were offered as incentives to help reach the $ 8000 campaign goal . Two months after its launch , an update announced that the crowdfunding campaign had been 109 % funded . On October 27 , 2017 , supporters were sent a downloadable link to the finished film and on November 30 , 2017 , Fish announced a " soft premier " in the Boston area for Wednesday , February 21 , 2018 saying additional details would be forthcoming . Persons interviewed for the documentary , who appear in the film 's trailer , include : Sally Taylor , Ian Anderson , Carly Simon , Roger H. Brown , and Ben Taylor . The film was scheduled to be screened at the 27th Annual Woods Hole Film Festival , Cape Cod 's oldest film festival , during the 8-day festival running July 28-August 4 , 2018
