Livingston Taylor Last Alaska Moon

by Barb S. - Sunday Mix Host WYEP

Hearing a new CD by Livingston Taylor for the first time is like putting on an old pair of flannel pajamas. It’s soooo comfortable. I had a smile on my face the whole time I listened to “Last Alaska Moon” all the way through. The first song I previewed was “Kitty Hawk”. Taylor has been singing this tribute to The Wright Brothers in concert for years and it has always been a show highlight (Taylor is also a pilot). "I'm in a Pickle" is certain to be another of those lovable quirky songs that fans will request he sing live. "Call Me Carolina" is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time. The only cover on the album is 1982’s “The Girl is Mine” (Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney) and Taylor even gives that a magical touch, with some help from his nephew Ben Taylor. Members of Union Station (Alison Krauss) join Taylor. This CD is a gem.
