reviews
falling all the way, has a more rootsy and jaunty sound, flavored by guitars, mandolin, banjo and dobro. taggart is a smart, economical songwriter. he also has a knack for getting right to the troubled heart of a matter, as the CD's title track and what tomorrow will be missing reveal. all is not sorrow and anguish, though. in a calm, somewhat husky voice that occasionally brings john hartford to mind, taggart conjures other moods as well, with a thoroughly smitten love song, county fair/apple blossom and a vivid portrait of a first and lasting impression, missing you all my life.

confident songwriting, with deceptively simple themes and lyrics, evocative images, familiar places and situations. spot-on arrangements, beautiful guitar work, a crack band and the feeling that the singer is very comfortable down in the groove...a strong, solid, unhysterical, unassuming presence.
