Talk about a family of fabulists: Chip Taylor, a songwriter with
several chart-topping hits; his brothers, Academy Award-winning actor
Jon Voight and world-renowned vulcanologist Barry Voight; and their
father Elmer Voight, a professional golfer. Growing up in that household
seems to have given Taylor great material for his new album,
Yonkers, N.Y.
In
a folk-based mix of sung memories and spoken recollections, Taylor
follows an autobiographical thread, as he discusses everything from his
stint as a professional gambler to his father's tall tales of being an
FBI agent. Taylor's content is diverse, politically conscious and
intellectually stimulating, giving depth to his reflections.
