  Avocado Club #2

I just got my Avocado Club disc (Volume 2.)

There's only two tracks (I was kind of hoping for one or two more.) I think that "Welcome to the Real World" from Random Acts & Hodgepodge should have gone on AC#2--the style better fits on AC.

It's really nice on AC#1 and AC#2 to see Terry writing some personal and simple acoustic songs. I always like the Derri Daugherty would record great songs about love and relationship but it seemed that Terry hadn't recorded many. "little, BIG" and the two AC discs are welcome additions to Terry's already large and vast repertoire.

Track #1 "Simple Things" is just a great simple song with Terry on the guitar and some back up vocals (provided by Terry himself.) With this track I feel like I'm getting a glimpse into Terry's life and what he values in his relationship with his wife. It's a reaffirming song about love and relationship.

Track #2 I think has a typo on the CD sleeve. The sleeve says it is called "Every Day of the Week" but the faceof the CD and the chorus of the song say "Every Tuesday of the Week." It's another simple song, no fancy post-production. It's the kind of song you'd expect to hear at an open mic night in a small smokey coffee shop.

Of the two, I like "Simple Things" better. Maybe it's because I identify more with the lyrics. Regardless how much money you have, it's the simple things that hold a couple together.

Hope y'all enjoy!

So, did you get it yet?

I like it. I downloaded it with AC#1 and 3 of the Hodgepodge tracks and the stuff from Browbeat (all three CDs) that Terry sings, and the track from City on a Hill Christmas, and the song from the Ojo Taylor release. I think that's all of them. Anyways - it's like a cool cd of Terry Taylor that has no real "central theme" or "sense of history" - I listen to it more than I do to the real albums.
