by Thom OwensLiving Room Tapes is a modest, engaging collection of unassuming, catchy country and folk-rock songs from Chip Taylor. Supported by two guitarists, Jon Stolle and David Mansfield, Taylor turns in a modest performance which only accentuates the subtle charms of his songs. Not every cut on the record is memorable, but the best moments confirm his talent for constructing sturdy, melodic, and provocative songs.
