notes

In an email dated Nov. 3, 2003, Derek Sivers of CDBaby wrote:” Taylor - I love your "Long Ride Home" CD so much I'm going to feature it on the FRONT PAGE of CD Baby for a few days.

We're REALLY picky about what goes on the front page. We get about
75 new albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 30,000 total), and
yours is one of the best I've ever heard!”

Now, almost four years later, Taylor Pie has joined the growing list of highly successful independent artists represented here at CDBaby. Her listening audience began to expand with the “Long Ride Home” and “Jubal” cds, and the release of “So Little Has Changed” will certainly push her popularity to new heights.

This newest offering is a classic gem! Recorded in Nashville, TN, at Jack’s Tracks, the list of musicians is small, but impressive. Each one is an artist in their own right. Dave Pomeroy was on bass, Kenny Malone, percussion, Eben Wood, acoustic lead guitar, and Russ Pahl, pedal steel and electric guitar. The approach was to create an improvisational feel with little or no overdubbing, so one hears exquisitely pure arrangements of finely crafted songs. These musicians support Pie’s superb vocals with perfect sensitivity and taste, and with co-producer Mark Miller at the board mixing, and Don Cobb and Eric Conn of Independent Mastering in Nashville sprinkling magic dust for the final touch, this is Pie’s best album so far.

Pie’s songs range in texture and rhythm from the jazzy first cut, “Jar of Kisses” to the final title cut, “So Little Has Changed,” which is reminiscent of a Tom Paxton socially conscious folk commentary. “Back to Balsam Blues” slow drives you down a back country road and “Be Here With You,” takes your breath away with Appalachian power ballad grace. “Full Grown Fool” is acoustic funk at its best and “Ocean of Lonely” an excursion into acoustic rock. “Cypress Lake” is already a video filmed during the recording session, now up on YouTube. This album has something for everyone!

Taylor Pie is the kind of folk artist who simply refuses to be kept inside the box. Her diversity is displayed more than ever on this collection, and for those of you already familiar with her work, it’s a must have. For those of you just discovering Pie, you are starting at the top!

    Never can we get too much Pie... and that's the truth. Good honest home grown music that will touch so many cords in all listeners heart... Couple of these take me back a few years... To the Red Lion and Woodies, The Stockbridge Train Station, to the NOW convention in 79 or 80 where you did Full Grown Fool and others @ Uconn Torrington . Of course Ocean of Lonely and Jar of Kisses. I'm still waiting for you to record Rusty Green Eyes... Love ya sweetie... keep them coming!

  • Awesome

    I played this CD for a room full of friends after dinner. There were 10 of us. It was like Taylor Pie and all the musicians were in the room with us...like a private concert. I have Jubal and Long Ride Home, but this new release is absolutely stunning! Sounds like Taylor Pie, Dave Pomeroy, Russ Pahl, Eben Wood and Kenny Malone have been playing together for years. A very confortable feel to the whole CD. Thanks!! This is now one of my favorite CDs to listen to. My favorite cut is Cypress Lake...written by Taylor Pie and Bob Alan. There's even a video of this song on YouTube. You can see all the musicians and the famed Jack's Track's studio. The title cut So Little Has Changed is one of the best anti-war songs I've ever heard. Whatever your political affiliation, it will touch you. Sunny Side Of The Moon had us all laughing and singing along. I could go on about each and every cut, but listen for yourself. WOW! This is awesome! Buy it...you'll like it!
