★★★
THE ELEVENTH long-player from prolific North Carolina-based singer-songwriter MC Taylor rocks a little harder than his previous more folk-based work.
Made “during a time of trouble” and depression in his life, its classic-sounding rootsy American guitar music will no doubt attract many middle-aged Uncut and Mojo readers, as will Taylor’s nasally, sometimes indistinct, Dylanesque vocals.
