Well, Taylor’s new cd is out, and the reviews are in. I was going to link to one, but there are just too many out there, and each one has something different to say. They’re a mixed bag. Some like it, some love it, some hate parts of it. Generally, I would call the reviews middle of the road. I think this is not unexpected, as it seems that none of the first albums from American Idol winners are any good (or at least vaguely disappointing). It seems that they only come into their own when they’re out from under American Idol contract obligations.
So, what about you? Has anyone bought the album? What do you think of it?
I’ve included below a live performance of “The Right Place”. I also included Taylor’s performance of “Runaround” from his Christmas at Rockefeller Plaza appearance.
