Eric Taylor

Watermelon 1040 (1995)

Although his songs have been widely recorded, and he is on almost every Texas songwriter's hot list, recordings by Eric Taylor have been virtually unavailable in recent years, a situation happily remedied by this eponymous Watermelon Release. Produced by Mark Hallman and Iain Matthews , the album includes a dozen of Taylor's literate slices of life, including his own version of "Deadwood" (which Nanci Griffith covered several years ago) and "All So Much Like Me," a sentimental litany of some of the colorful and shady characters that might inhabit a life. The three verses of the sentimental "All Day Saturday" plow as quickly as time itself through a parent's lifetime. Taylor's strong, slightly reedy voice has aged well, and is bolstered by warm harmonies courtesy of, among others, the producers and Denice Franke . Eric Taylor is a well crafted album that shows why the singer is held in such high regard by his peers.
