Fresh from their critically-acclaimed
#1 Americana album, The Trouble
with Humans, Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez return with more
of what Rolling Stone hails as their "back-porch magic."
Angel of the Morning is a specially-priced, seven-song EP
highlighted by its title track, one of master songwriter Taylor's
most beloved and enduring songs. In this definitive version by its
writer and his duet partner, the already three-time hit is poised
to conquer new radio formats and bring more listeners to what Vintage
Guitar magazine calls the duo's "killer vocal harmonies" and
"beautiful music."
Angel of the Morning is also sure to please the growing
legion of fans of what Country Music Today calls Chip & Carrie's
"stunning, natural chemistry" as well as win new converts with the
six scintillating live tracks - recorded in Oslo, Norway and Austin,
TX - that round out this disc. Featured are three numbers from what
Texas Music magazine hails as their "close to perfect" 2003
album, The Trouble with Humans: the Americana radio hit "Don't
Speak in English," the Texas music chart hit "Laredo," and "We Come
up Shining." Also included are concert versions of "Do Your Part"
and the title track from Let's
Leave This Town, the duo's debut that was praised as a "must-have
record" by No Depression. Rounding out the collection is
their version of Merle Haggard's "I Wasn't Born In Tennessee," a
song originally cut by Taylor on his classic 1973 album, Last
Chance.
This EP is a piquant sampler that showcases the "intoxicating and delicious" vocal mix (No Depression) of Taylor & Rodriguez, one of the fastest-rising acts on the burgeoning Americana music scene. And now "Angel of the Morning" returns in its finest, most winning version yet on another wonderful release from a duo with "world-class talent," as the Houston Press calls it.
