Comments:
From the onesheet: "Adam Taylor is a Pennsylvania poet with a guitar, whose old-school soul can be felt through his visually quirky, socially conscious lyrics and ragtime-inspired folk-pop. Channeling the spirit of Bob Dylan, Taylor defies his youth with his timeless confidence and renegade attitude... Listeners will discover Taylor's breadth of influence such as Donovan, Saul Williams, and Tom Waits."

Lofty aspirations, but this is a quite enjoyable 7-song set, highlighted by "Painting Leprosy" and a bar-band cover of The Strokes' "12:51."
