"Shawn Taylor is a Poet of Decay"
by
Dan Barry
"On Saturday night I caught singer/songwriter Shawn Taylor at Acoustic
Café. He has a wonderfully damaged voice - a sort of Tom Waits "I gargle cinder blocks in the morning" growl,
but less of a put-on than Waits' bark. His lyrics dabble in a wonderful gritty naturalism that's uncommon around here... check
him out."
