A Long Island-based NY musician,
Taylor Barton continues to evolve as a songwriter and especially as a singer, even beyond her breakthrough 2002
Dry Land release. Her burgeoning confidence as a performer is evident throughout Vapor, for example on the opening "Rio Grande" and the roof-raising "Seven Roses," for which she (temporarily) leaves her comfort zone behind for a Wall of Sound. With husband and co-producer
G.E. Smith,
Barton is still stretching herself with her fifth album on their own label. Her best yet. ~ Mark Allan
