With his guitar, banjo, gravelly voice, and songs that champion the underdog, Otis Taylor has become one of the most compelling bluesmen of our time. Taylor has long approached the blues with a jazz sensibility, but on Pentatonic Wars and Love Songs he goes full bore. Take his roster of musicians. Jason Moran, the most original jazz pianist of his generation, brought his trio (bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits) along for the date, and other stellar players such as trumpeter Ron Miles are here, too. Taylors tunes build and build like good dramas; he tells stories through song, and the music does the talking as much as the lyrics do. Im Not Mysterious tells of an 8-year-old black boy who wants to walk a white girl home from school. Dagger By My Side is about an extramarital affair gone bad. If You Hope is a ghost story. The discs big surprise is the one song on which Taylor does not sing. His daughter, Cassie Taylor, who has a heavenly voice, gets the lead vocal on Sunday Morning, which just might be the years most beautiful song. Within these songs of love are tales of tragedy and loss, misunderstanding and deception but often a glimmer of hope as well. "That's just my nature," says Taylor. "I may write love songs, but they aren't always going to be happy and pretty. Look at songs like Teen Angel' or Ode To Billy Joe.' Those are love songs, but they aren't exactly happy. So why shouldn't my songs be considered love songs?" Pentatonic Wars and Love Songs follows Taylor's 2008 opus, Recapturing the Banjo, and album that celebrated the African roots of an instrument whose origins have been largely obscured by its subsequent associations with Appalac HERE
