Mick Taylor- Vocals, Guitars,Bass, Keys, Drums.

Detroit artist Mick Taylor has many strengths. Killer, high-octane electric guitar solos in the Peter Frampton mode is one of them. So is penning hooky choruses for melodic rock songs. On his latest release, “Feeding the machine,” Taylor has patched together a quilt of different musical fabrics, from retro-80s rock and roll, to country crossover, to heavy metal. 13 of the 14 songs presented are written soley by Taylor, who is featured on all instruments and vocals, with the exception of “The color of love,” which is co-written and performed with Tim Lorey.

First up on the album is the soft-rock nostalgic look back on “Dreams of yesterday.” Slick and crisp guitar work punctuates in all the perfect places, like on “What it means to be an American.” His best country-foot forward is the shuffle “Beat to Hell .com,” where Taylor’s gruff-and-yell style vocal delivery, hot guitar runs and solid lyrics come together to tell a story in rapid-fire fashion: “Over worked, over stressed, under paid, what a mess/My life has become/Gonna grab me a cold one, get online , have some fun/Get nothing’ done son/Rappin with my home boys, gonna make a little noise/As soon as I log on/You can check me out all night long/At beat to hell .com”

Heavy metal is no doubt right in Taylor’s wheelhouse. Stand-out track “Daddy’s Little Princess” is where the testosterone-pumped singer absurdly takes on the persona of an “I-want-I-want” spoiled brat of a daughter, who devilishly screams, “Daddy give me more than I need, make your wallet bleed.” It’s a risky perspective that has a huge pay-off. The title track’s political message is told with the metal’s angry passion, backed by puffs of steam and clanking pipes, and is well-suited for the energized artist.

Some songs here only have moments of greatness-songs with either stiff lyrics or ballad tempos that clash with his singing style, but those moments of clean guitar work are glorious. --- Janet Goodman, cdbaby.com

Pair all-time great blues-rock guitarist Mick Taylor with roots-rock chanteuse Carla Olson, throw in band members like Ian McLagan, Barry Goldberg and harmonica whiz John Luke Logan, and you had one hot combo, too hot, dare we say, for snakes! This deluxe reissue expands their 1990 live at the Roxy album with a number of tracks from Carla's various studio albums, all of 'em featuring Mick and all of 'em long out-of-print. We even unearthed an unreleased cut, an alternate version of 'Winter' that's over twice as long as the Rolling Stones' version on 'Goat s Head Soup' with much Mick guitar solo magic, and the rare, Japan-only track 'You Gotta Move' to up the temperature. And Stones fans wait 'til you hear the 7- minute version of 'Sway' (the original on Sticky Fingers faded out at 3:50 just when Mick was taking off)! ---Editorial Review

Mick Taylor - Mick Taylor (1979)

2010-08-15T21:45:49Z

Mick Taylor - Mick Taylor (1979)


1- Leather Jacket
2- Alabama
3- Slow Blues
4- Baby I Want You
5- Broken Hands
6- Giddy-Up
7- S.W.5
8- Spanish / A Minor

Personnel:
    * Mick Taylor – synthesizer, bass, guitar, piano, strings, vocals, producer
    * Kuma Harada – bass, bowed bass, string bass
    * Pierre Moerlen – drums, vibraphone
    * Jean Russel – piano
    * Norman Mighell
    * Mike Driscoll – drums, bass drum
    * Richard Bailey – drums
    * Alan Spenner – bass
    * Lowell George – guitar, slide guitar

Mick Taylor's self-titled debut album is rather different than one would imagine for an ex-Rolling Stone and former Bluesbreaker. As to whether this is due to the conformist sound of the lighter numbers ("Leather Jacket," "Baby I Want You," etc.) or the fact that his singing voice is so much more average than Jagger or Mayall's is debatable. In any case, Mick Taylor is an undeniably attractive and often surprising album. The highlight and thrust of the album is Taylor's astounding guitar playing. His fusion of blues and rock styles, and, of course, his slide guitar work, is constantly impressive. "Slow Blues," "Giddy-Up," and "Spanish/A Minor" feature some particularly gob-smacking guitar solos. Lyrically, Mick Taylor is a little lightweight, but at worst competent. Similarly, some of the music is at times cheesy, attempting to blend in with the sound of the time. Nevertheless, Mick Taylor's first attempt at a solo recording is a fine effort and one that improves with time. ---Ben Davies, Rovi
