TAYLOR, Chip: Chip Taylor's Last Chance (CD)

(Train Wreck Records) 11 tracks

Chip Taylor firmly believes that 1973's “Last Chance” is his best album before his comeback, and has taken the matter of reissuing it into his own hands. It's not exactly a lost classic, but it's a simple, charming and perhaps unintentionally revealing portrait of both the artist and the music in the early 70s.
The cover artwork, which shows a bearded Taylor in post-Western neo-hippie attire sitting at a card table surrounded by dancehall girls, seems in retrospect to evoke the importance of Kris Kristofferson. That's not to disparage Taylor, but it's easy to forget what a crossover figure Kristofferson was, how effortlessly he managed to surf between pop and country stardom. And how difficult it was to follow this role model.
Taylor also moves in this intermediate world between pop and country (without the fame, apart from as a songwriter).

Chip Taylor

101 In Cashbox

As if to fulfil his own prophecy, Chip Taylor has never charted a record in the 'Billboard' or 'Cash Box' or 'Record World' pop charts as a performer. Born John Wesley Voigt in Yonkers, New York, he hung around the Brill/1650 Broadway scene, making records but mostly writing songs. As a songwriter, he was plenty successful: Wild Thing, Angel Of The Morning, Storybook Children, and countless lesser singles and LP cuts. As a performer, a plethora of labels took a chance on him, but without much of a payoff. 101 in Cashbox was a contrived piece with all the commercial savvy of New York pop and none of the darkness or surrealism of Parsons, Shaver, and their kin. The song namechecks a whole bunch of people that only an industry insider such as Taylor would know; in other words, the guys that J.J. Cale turned down a million bucks to avoid. Taylor's single didn't sell and neither did the accompanying album, but in France local star Eddy Mitchell recorded this song with some success as Ecoute Coco. And starting in 1975 Taylor actually scored a few country hits, only slightly less fleeting than 101 In Cashbox.
