Album Of The Day: Chris Taylor's Worthless Pursuit Of Things On The Earth

Album Art of Chris Taylor's Worthless Pursuit Of Things On The Earth album - A photo of a wire-bound notebook with a scuffed leather cover that is even missing a bit of the bottom left part. Behind can be seen some pages and other papers sticking out of the top and bottom of the notebook on the very edges of the photo. A few coffee cup stains are also on the leather, just to the bottom right of a photo affixed to the front of the cover. The photo is of a man on a dark background with a brown leather jacket and a brown hat with a short, curved brim. He's holding the hat in his right hand like he is in the process of putting it on. He's slightly smiling and facing mostly to the left of the frame. On the leather above the photo is written in marker or something 'chris taylor's' and then directly on top of the photo is printed 'Worthless Pursuit Of Things On The Earth' by a black label maker.

Released 25 years ago on this Friday, April 18th (if my research is correct), this is an rock album from Texas-based artist Chris Taylor. Backed by The Ragamuffin Band on this album and featuring background vocals from Kevin Max on a few tracks, this is a fun album of rock that I only discovered years later, and still don't listen to too often, but when I do listen, I always remind myself I need to listen to this more (and check out Chris Taylor's other albums). The opener title track and the final track "Higher Ground" are probably my favorites, though the other songs are solid too. About 5 years ago, it was remastered and a few bonus tracks were added, and that's the version you can find online.
