For all who are looking for a CD with substance and actual talent look no further. There are no doubts about Will Taylor and the CD Collaborations. With influences and sounds sampled from all over the world, only a true master of music can combine all styles into one intangible sound. Teamed with an all-star cast of some of Texas most notable artists you cant lose Once you learn it was recorded live, you make a double take of the sound quality of the performances. Truely tops for al music lovers, wait no longer, the real music has arrived!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This cd is violin rockin!, December 14, 2005

These songs are well-tailored interpretations of singer-songwriters' original intentions. Will Taylor's arrangements are characteristic of his guest artists' personal styles. That is what makes the CD so entertaining to listen to, these arrangements are elaborative measures taken to already superb pieces. The result is a cross-genre awakening for anyone who thought they had heard every kind of music.

What do you get when you combine some of the finest singer-songwriters with an acclaimed arrangers? You get this earthy, jazzy, self-stylized CDs.

Will is able to collaborate with the songwriter's to envision the songs into a new sound--that does not take away from the original recordings.

I'd rank it higher, but this style of jazz is not my favorite--but I appreciate the talent behind it.
