So Little Has Changed
This newest offering is a classic gem! Recorded in Nashville, TN, at Jack’s Tracks, the list of musicians is small, but impressive. Each one is an artist in their own right. Dave Pomeroy was on bass, Kenny Malone, percussion, Eben Wood, acoustic lead guitar, and Russ Pahl, pedal steel and electric guitar. The approach was to create an improvisational feel with little or no overdubbing, so one hears exquisitely pure arrangements of finely crafted songs. These musicians support Pie’s superb vocals with perfect sensitivity and taste, and with co-producer Mark Miller at the board mixing, and Don Cobb and Eric Conn of Independent Mastering in Nashville sprinkling magic dust for the final touch, this is Pie’s best album so far.
Jubal
“Jubal” is a collection of songs from a decade or more of singing and pickin’. There’s a tune I wrote with Herb McCullough, and Debbie Nims on it called, “Oh, Mandolin,” that is on its way to becoming a bluegrass classic, especially after Valerie Smith’s version on her “Turtle Wings” CD, with Liberty Pike, and Tim O’Brien on mando. Mike Taylor and I wrote the opening cut, “I Don’t Like It” and there are quite a few Sharon Riddell/Pie tunes too! Of course, “Jubal” remains my most requested song at live performances, which is a great tribute to a great friend and companion. Click on ol’ Jubal’s picture and give a listen!
Long Ride Home
“Long Ride Home” is still selling well thanks to folks like John Alfano, an old Pozo-Seco fan, and music reviewer for Amazon.com, who wrote: “Just a few words to heartily recommend Taylor’s CD “Long Ride Home” to anyone interested in some excellent folk recordings. Taylor, formerly Susan Taylor of the Pozo-Seco Singers, has a voice that remains vibrant some 35 years after Pozo-Seco. From the gritty “Blue Dog Lounge” to my favorite, the enchanting “Walkin’ On the Moon”,this is certainly a goodie from a most talented lady.”
Also thanks to Dick Renko, Muzik Management; representing Trout Fishing in America; Austin Lounge Lizards; Mollie O’Brien; Terri Hendrix, and others for writing:"As the reviewers suggest Pie’s singing remains strong, clear, and passionate. Listening to this music is like putting on your favorite pair of blue jeans, so comfortable and the fit is perfect, voice, words and music matched with real experience, character, grace, and charm.. I was particularly moved by Walking on The Moon… as I listened, several things occurred to me, the first is that this song is ageless, it works well for children and for anyone that is interested in improving growing in life, and facing demons without fear. We love the whole CD.” To order, just click on my truck!
