Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez are joined by guitar legend Bill Frisell on the new Red Dog Tracks, released May 24 by Back Porch Records. The duo's widely heralded 2003 album, Trouble With Humans, found "stunning fiddler turned twangy chanteuse" Rodriguez and Taylor, a writer of "resonant songs," "making some of the most distinctive acoustic music around today" (all NY Times). A pinnacle of his four-decade-plus career, Trouble With Humans earned across the board critical attention. Red Dog Tracks builds on the success of its predecessor, promising to outstrip the duo's past accomplishments.
Recorded over three days at New York's Avatar Studios, Red Dog Tracks consists largely of first and second takes, capturing the natural chemistry between the two musicians. In addition to fan favorite "Son of Man," the poetic "Big Moon Shinin'," and the gospel-inspired "Oh Set A Light," Red Dog Tracks includes the duo's spirited takes on Clarence Williams' "My Bucket's Got A Hole In It" and Hank Williams' lonesome "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You)." Backed by Jim Whitney (bass), Kenney Wollesen (drums) and Frisell's understated accompaniment, the band perfectly compliments Taylor's poignant songwriting, his earthy singing, and Rodriguez's sultry vocals. A consummate, deft songwriter and a stirring performer, the accomplished Taylor has written a vast catalog of unforgettable songs, including the rock classic "Wild Thing" and soulful country number "Angel of the Morning;" artists as varied as Jeff Beck, Frank Sinatra, and Hank Williams, Jr. have covered the troubadour's tunes. Lucinda Williams told The New York Times, "Chip really knows how to craft a song." Taylor found classically trained fiddle player Rodriguez plying her trade at 2001's South By Southwest Festival. Taylor and initially reluctant songbird Rodriguez have wowed critics, fans, and fellow musicians alike with their exquisite performances. The duo's third album, Red Dog Tracks, finds the partners at the top of their game.

This may be the best cd of the year. Chip Taylor seems to be able to write really great, moving, uber-romantic, unusual and original songs in his sleep. I don't know how he does it, but I suspect this partnership with Carrie is fueling the creative fires. I can't even begin to do justice with my words to the marvels of this record. Not one less than fine song and mostly magnificent ones. So, a few quick comments.
Chip has mastered the conversational song and the harmony song. On many numbers here, Chip and Carrie alternate verses as if having a conversation and then sing together on the choruses. This works beautifully--most notably on "Private Thoughts" and and "Red Dog Tracks" (the quality of the latter increased by its mysterious, "Ode to Billie Joe," storyline). When singing in harmony, no duo does it better. They must read each others' thoughts--as many of the song lyrics describe--to achieve such sympathetic vocals. This odd coupling--a beautiful young Texas fiddler with a lovely, expressive voice and a twang as thick as molasses and a much, much older world weary scribe who talks his words as often as he sings them--has evolved to some sort of perfection--almost as if lovers (again, read the lyrics) or at least musical lovers.
Chip's (and sometimes Carrie's) amazing way with words is obvious everywhere. For example,
(her) I'M A SOFT PINK ROSE -- CLINGING TO THE VINE
WAITIN' FOR YOU TO -- PICK ME OFF
(him) I AM THOSE RED DROPS ON YOUR HAND -- THAT LITTLE SPILL OF WINE
COME ON -- JUST KISS ME OFF (from "Big Moon Shinin')
HERE WE ARE TOGETHER -- NO MORE PRIVATE THOUGHTS ... MMM
THERE'S A HOLE IN THE WEATHER
THE SUMMER BREEZE REPLACED THE FROST (from "Private Thoughts")
I WONDER IF YOU STILL SEE ME -- WHEN YOUR EYES HAVE LEFT MY FACE
I WONDER DO YOU STILL HOLD ME --WHEN YOUR HANDS HAVE LEFT MY WAIST (from "The Wonder of You")
The funny, orginal Chip view of religion is amply displayed in the quite wonderful, "Son of Man:" WHEN THE LORD AIN'T LOOKIN' -- JUST SNEAK ON IN
There are a few other key players who contribute to the magnificence of this new recording: Bill Frisell's sensitive electric guitar, Richie Stearns' banjo, Carrie's fiddle, and Chip's harmonica are like four other singers here--so expressive is their playing. In a few places they jam fabulously: "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It," the instrumental "Elzick's Farewell (arranged by Carrie), and the "Jenny" reprise. In other places, the arrangements and sounds underlie one of the best studio recordings I've ever heard. Whether studio recorded (LET'S LEAVE THIS TOWN and THE TROUBLE WITH HUMANS) or live (most of the cuts on the ANGEL OF THE MORNING EP), they are simply infectious and true originals. If all this isn't enough, there's a killer version of Hank Williams' "I Can't Help it (if I'm Still in Love with You)"--slow, sexy and beautiful.
This is the most original CD I've encountered this year. Chip Taylor is a seasoned songwriter, guitar and harmonica player, and a singer of sorts. Carrie Rodriguez is young and plays violin and sings. She bears comparison with Allison Krauss but they differ. Allison has a heavenly voice and violin, but Carrie has a nasal twang and edgy violin style.
Chip and Carrie are excellent in unison and they have created a CD with a sound all its own, about 50 percent folk and 50 percent bluegrass/country -- if it must be fitted into a genre. The oddest song on the album is an instrumental, "Elzick's Farewell," which sounds a bit like Ravi Shankar playing acid grass. My favorite tune is "Keep your Hat on Jennie." It's a toe-tapper -- and they reprise it with some fancy guitar, harmonica, and fiddle playing. Eccentricity goes a little overboard on the Hank Williams tune, "I Can't Help It" which has a scratchy background in imitation of early-day vinyl recordings. I could do without the scratch, though it's a good song.
Chip sings lead on most songs and carries the rhythm with his quick acoustic guitar and harmonica. Carrie chimes in with her stronger and more distinctive voice and a strong violin. The result is unpredictable music that fools you with its quick twists and turns and powerful harmonies. Some tracks feature banjo and electric guitar. All combine to make this a most agreeable, interesting, and downright exciting CD. I can hardly wait to buy their other CDs.
Last weekend I had the pleasure of seeing Chip and Carrie once again at the Old Town School of Folk Music. When I first saw them about two years ago I was startled at how well they sang together. Listening now to them sing "Once Again, One Day...Will You Be Mine' is an unbelievable experience. Jaw-dropping and shiver-inducing. I only wish they were the headliners so they could've had more time. (I stayed for the second show too.) The story that Chip tells about how he saw Carrie for the first time just playing fiddle and when he asked her if she could sing she said 'No' just seems unreal when she starts singing on stage. This is truly some of the prettiest and sexiest music I've ever heard. Wow.
If you're reading this review, you're probably the sort of listener who appreciates Chip and Carrie's kind of music (folk-country-bluegrass?), so stop your dithering and buy the darned album. While you're at it, in fact, buy the whole catalogue (Angel of the Morning, Let's Leave This Town, The Trouble With Humans)-- then you won't have to buy them one by one as I did and wait several days in between each purchase. These CD's have barely left my stereo since I heard Chip and Carrie featured on NPR a few months ago. Their beautiful harmonizing and laid-back singing will captivate you. Many of the songs are painfully, heart-breakingly lovely. Chip's soulful, well-worn voice blends exquisitely with Carrie's sweet Texas twang. You won't regret buying this or any other Chip and Carrie album.
I first heard "Must Be the Whiskey" on a college radio station while driving in my car and was so blown away I nearly ran off the road! Fortunately I was able to catch the album title and bought it immediately. The rest of the CD did not disappoint and I am totally hooked. Every song has something intimate and infectious about it, whether it's the lyrics, the harmonies, the groove, or the heartfelt delivery. Highly recommended even if you're not into country or blugrass.
Si te gusta este tipo de musica. Inequivocamente country, aire e intrumentación clasica pero muy moderno. Las voces son preciosas y sobre todo, combinan estupendamente. Se nota una libertad de tematica e interpretación, sin concesiones a la vulgaridad comercial. Quizá, en alguna pieza, son algo repetitivos. Es curioso que no me guste ninguna de las obras de Carrie Rodriguez en solitario.
