Eric Taylor - Hollywood Pocketknife

Self-produced and recorded at Rock Romano's Red Shack in Houston, Texas, Eric Taylor's 2007 release, Hollywood Pocketknife, is a stunning collection of 7 new songs and 3 surprising covers from an artist hailed by critics as one of the world’s greatest living songwriters and performers.

"The guarantee that is inherent in an Eric Taylor composition is that the lyric will be literate, be it a conventional story with start, middle, and end or simply a scene snatched from some larger event.

On his previous albums the sadness, joy, beauty, and truth embraced in his words have consistently given me the chills, the result being the urge to repeat the aural experience. There are quite a few examples of the latter on Hollywood Pocketknife. Darn if Taylor hasn't done it again - it's what makes reviewing his albums a task to relish." ~ Arthur Wood, Folkwax
