A Stone's Throw
by Cub KodaFormer Stone and John Mayall alumnus cuts loose on this 1999 session in the company of English stalwarts Max Middleton and Rabbit Bundrick. Taylor is a more than capable vocalist, and his playing as always walks the fine line between blues and rock bombast. Most revealing is the laid-back "Never Fall in Love Again," a wistful change of pace from the stronger electric side of this very rock-oriented blues album. Other highlights include "Lost in the Desert," "Late at Night," and "Blind Willie McTell."
