One of 2002's most delightful
musical surprises was Let's Leave This Town, the "brilliant"
and "simply stunning" album of country folk duets by Chip Taylor
& Carrie Rodriguez, as Performing Songwriter praised it.
Now with The Trouble With Humans, this "beautiful duo" (Nashville
Tennessean) offereven further dynamism, depth, and sweet richness
within their continuing collaboration.
When musical legend Taylor - writer of "Wild Thing" and "Angel
Of The Morning," among many accomplishments - joined forces with
Austin-reared, Berklee-trained fiddler and singer Carrie Rodriguez,
what England's Country Music People calls "relationship magic"
was born. Time and international touring have enriched their creative
partnership, including three song collaborations between the veteran
Taylor and stunning newcomer Rodriguez, who Vintage Guitar
says "sound as if they were born to sing together." The seasoning
makes this follow-up to one of last year's sleeper roots music hits
into a pick among discerning consumers, critics and radio programmers.
Recorded in Boston and Austin, The Trouble With Humans features
a core band of folk-rock stalwarts like Dave Mattacks of Fairport
Convention along with Texas guests like Dixie Chicks producer Lloyd
Maines on steel guitar, pianist Earl Poole Ball (Johnny Cash) and
Telecaster guitar legend Redd Volkaert (Merle Haggard). The music
complements the center stage enchantment of Taylor & Rodriquez, who
once again create "some of the sweetest music imaginable" (England's
Birmingham Evening Mail) and promise to woo countless new fans
and buyers with The Trouble With Humans.
