Hybrid Disc Livingston Taylor Ink [SACD253]
| |
Great songs: that's what you've come to expect from Livingston Taylor. On his latest, Ink, the winsome singer-songwriter delights by paying homage to pop songwriting with a collection of richly-realized interpretations, including Don Henley's The End of the Innocence, and Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street. Drawing inspiration from pop's different eras, Liv brings new life to diverse material, from the brilliant standard The More I See You, to the Jackson 5's hit Never Can Say Goodbye, to the great Ray Charles' Hallelujah, I Love Her So. Add in a few of Liv's beguiling new originals, like the reflective and celebratory Our Turn to Dance, and Ink reveals itself as a document of a man who knows what makes a song a memorable and moving experience. Recorded with 96kHz/24-bit technology, Ink showcases Liv's acoustic ensemble with startling accuracy and detail - you're at center stage for every sweet harmony and nimble solo. Here's an acoustic treat from the other Taylor still active in pop music. It's easy listening and instantly creates a homey place to which we all return for sanity and shelter from the lyrically provoking. - Gavin
