Free Music Review: A superb debut by an odd couple
Hit: 5 Stars
Chip Taylor is probably more than 60 years old and Carrie Rodriguez looks about 15, but is probably 20. He writes songs, plays guitar and sings -- although he'll never win a voice contest. Carrie's twang would make an opera teacher cringe but she can carry a tune and might do well in a fiddle playing competition. Together, they make great music in an acoustic, down-home country way with an urban, big-town tinge to a few songs.
Taylor wrote "Angel in the Morning" about a century ago and "His Eyes" is a similar song with a cello and strings backing up the warbling of the comely Ms. R. The title track is a playful country number, as is "Sweet Tequila Blues." "Say Little Darling" has a bluegrass flavor. Rodriguez's violin is especially poignant -- think "Ashoka Farewell" -- on the instrumental "Midnight on the Water" and Taylor proves he can sing passably on "Was That for Me."
Chip and Carrie have now made three studio and one live CDs and every one of them is outstanding. Taylor's songs and Carrie's voice are the standouts of this duo. They are backed up by superb musicians and excellent arrangements that contrive successfully to appear relaxed.

Let's Leave This Town Poster
Chip Taylor, the writer of "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning," abandoned his musical career in the '80s to take up professional gambling. Returning in the '90s, he has taken a stripped-down, rootsy approach across a series of sharp releases. This largely acoustic outing of duets with singer-fiddler Carrie Rodriguez proves again that his hiatus hasn't hurt his songwriting: "Sweet Tequila Blues," "Him Who Saved Me," and the title tune stand with his best work--and up to anyone else's. His calling out for musicians to solo, and the playful comfort exhibited with Ms. Rodriguez, lend an air of casualness to the proceedings, but make no mistake, Let's Leave This Town is a passionate, finely crafted record. "Back porch" music is one of life's joys, and the intimacy of a musician or group of musicians performing for a small circle of friends and family is magical in a way that is hard to capture on disc. Kudos to Chip Taylor as producer for making you feel that he and Ms. Rodriguez are performing these fine songs just for you and yours. --Michael RossCountry Music CDs
