Young blueswoman Joanne Shaw Taylor will be releasing her second album titled Diamonds In the Dirt on November 9. Her first album, White Sugar, which introduced her to the world as both a talented singer and guitarist, made my list of notable albums from 2009.
Diamonds In the Dirt was produced by Jim Gaines, who also recorded White Sugar, and was recorded in rural Tennessee at Gaines’ studio. You can sample three tracks from the album on the Ruf Records Diamonds In the Dirt website.
I’ve had the sure pleasure of seeing this lady in concert at the Winchester in Cleveland, OH. If her CD’s get you moving, you need to treat yourself to a live performance! She told us that she’d have new music out in the October/November timeframe. Hopefully she’ll come back and play it for us.
I’m hoping that she makes it down to the Nashville area sometime soon. Her new album is available now via MP3. It sounds really good!
Excellent cd from a great performer. Goddess of telecaster leads the way!
