Comments: Let me preface this by saying Maria Taylor has a beautiful voice-it’s emotional without being obnoxious or overbearing, and quite simply, well-trained. Sadly, her voice isn’t enough to make her album “LadyLuck” anything more than decent, despite its potential to be amazing--it’s a pretty basic manifestation of your average female singer-songwriter. The tracks are pretty hit or miss—a highlight includes the slightly folk/country single “Cartoons and Forever Plans”, on which Taylor collaborated with Andy LeMaster and Michael Stipe—it makes you wish the album had gone more in that direction (or, in any direction really). Start with track 10.
