"One of folkdom's fastest rising stars." Boston Globe

On her second CD, Vermont singer songwriter Louise Taylor shows a confident, big voice and a knack for writing accessible, contemporary pop-folk tunes that should play well in the adult alternative market. Memorable tracks among the dozen Taylor originals include the pensive urban drama "Silver Locket," the lazy blues lite of "Household Dreams," and the sensuous, wintry "Laura." Ruby Shoes was produced by guitarist Will Ackerman, who called in Windham Hill stalwarts like pianist Phil Aalberg and bassist Michael Manring. -- Michael Parrish - Dirty Linen
