Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez – Live From the Ruhr Triennale
As their three studio discs have demonstrated, the combination of Chip Taylor’s earthy vocals and from-the-heart compositions plus Carrie Rodriguez’s folksy Texas twang and fiery violin can produce magic.

Carrie Rodriguez – Seven Angels On A Bicycle
Having transitioned from violin to fiddle, from instrumentalist to vocalist, Carrie Rodriguez is mesmerizing in her coming-out as a soloist and songwriter.

Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez – Let’s Leave This Town
What do “Wild Thing”, “Angel Of The Morning” and Angelina Jolie have in common? If you answered Chip Taylor, you are right. Born James Wesley Voight, Taylor is the brother of the actor Jon Voight, thus the uncle of the apparently ex-Mrs. Billy Bob. As the author of the aforementioned, oft-covered songs, he was assured [...]
