Soundtracks by Bob Cianci Power pop, psych rock, blues and more Otis Taylor: Double V, Telarc Records Blues guitarist Otis Taylor is one of the most original artists working within the blues/Americana milieu today, and critics and fans alike consistently praise his discs. While I understand and appreciate Taylor’s approach, droning single-chord tales of repression and prejudice characterized by socially topical lyrics and instrumentation that flies in the face of convention (cello and trumpet are used this time around), I find his refusal to use drums annoying. |
