Livingston Taylor - Ink (2003) [SACD]

While somewhat overshadowed by his more famous brother James, Livingston Taylor is a fine singer-songwriter in his own right--superficially, his voice recalls that of his sibling, but Liv is less moody, more folk-like. INK is a "tribute" album of sorts--instead of paying homage to a particular artist, Taylor interprets hit songs by various writers from several eras, leaning a bit toward classic R&B/soul hits. Songs made famous by Ray Charles, the Jackson Five, and Stevie Wonder are re-imagined via the gentle, genial imagination of Livingston Taylor.
