4.0 out of 5 stars Find this album, 21 Feb 2006
By Andy Clare (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Having read a lot about this album in the music press and heard 'Yeah' on a compilation CD I became increasingly curious about Lewis Taylor. In January 2006 I went to one of his Jazz Cafe gigs and was totally gob smacked. Great voice, stunning guitar, really tight band and songs that grab hold of you and don't let go. On the back of that night I tracked down 'The Lost Album' and can't recommend it enough.

Whilst comparisons with other artists can be quite limiting and patronising, perhaps it helps to think of classic Todd Rundgren, circa A Wizard, A True Star and Something/Anything. The songs are quite complex but beautifully arranged with some interesting and unexpected changes.The soulful vocals and multi-layered harmonies are prominent throughout all the tracks, giving the album a lush but very uplifting feel. Other reviewers have made the link with the Beach Boys and certainly the scope of Lewis's musical vision on this CD is reminiscent of Brian Wilson (Really, it is that good). If there was any temptation to let his guitar dominate, he resists it successfully because the solos are used economically, letting the songs flow and stand very much on their own merit. Other comparisons with West Coast bands are probably inevitable (CSN maybe, Matthew Sweet at times) but don't be too encouraged or put off by that. This is really quite superb music whatever label you want to put on it. Listened to as a whole, it is a quite captivating and infectious piece of work.

Its not that easy to find this album, which is a real shame, because I think it has both artistic, musical and commercial appeal. If I'm right, I think the record company rejected the album when Lewis first delivered it, prompting him to put it out on his own label. It is certainly not in the same vein as his first, more dark soul album, but its touched with the same magic. To say this is pop rock for the thinking person is probably pretentious but it does suprise me that at a time when there is much, well deserved attention for a new generation of young British rock acts, Lewis Taylor remains something of an unknown.

Having seen him live and read a little of the background, I guess Lewis is a musician (and person) of great integrity and will not compromise his values for record company expectations. Perhaps that will mean he'll continue to produce quality music by his own rules and to his own high standards. I really hope so as this is an exceptional album and one that I would recommend unreservedly. Don't expect to find it in HMV or Virgin but like all good things, it really is worth waiting for. And if you get a chance to see him and his great band play live - go. Its a treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars soft summer soul so soothing, 27 Jun 2005
If your music lover who likes to find little secret gems,this cd is for you.Previous Lewis taylor releases were more soul tinged with a fairly dark side,a la Marvin Gaye,'The Lost Album'has a far more uplifting feel and some interestig influences.Beach Boys late 60's and early 70's can be heard as can Todd Rundgren.It also has the feel of the of Michael Head via The Pale Fountains and a little Shack.Overall a fantastic release and should be played along the new releases by Magic Numbers and The Superimosers for a perfect summer's day soundtrack.
