Review

Since he gave up the ponies and returned to music full time, the author of "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning" has enjoyed a low-profile artistic renaissance of elegant, tender songwriting. But by the lights of his fifth post-racetrack release, penning shrewd, often stunning country-folk lyrics is no longer enough. With the help of Lucinda Williams, John Prine, ex-Van Morrison guitarist John Platania, and gospel singers Audrey Martels and Deena Miller, Chip Taylor aims for the big statement, splicing in spoken samples from Eisenhower, Malcom X, Cassius Clay, and older brother Jon Voight as if his songs of temptation, outlaws, Jesus, baseball, and Marilyn Monroe weren't deliberate enough. Taylor isn't a memorable singer, but his lackadaisical drawl isn't offensive either--and when Lucinda joins him on aching, unpretentious ballads like "Could I Live with This" and "The Ship," his listeners will immediately recognize why Taylor is both a legend and a vital, contemporary voice. --Roy Kasten
