Guide Review - Karen Taylor-Good - How Many Women

You may not recognize the name Karen Taylor-Good, but she is no newcomer to the music industry. Karen's songs have been recorded by artists like, Melissa Manchester, Laura Branigan, Neal McCoy, Diamond Rio, Mark Wills & many others. With her sixth CD entitled 'How Many Women,' Karen is spreading her wings with this latest project. Many of the songs on this CD have been written by Karen herself, and have been recorded by other artists as album tracks.

This CD is hard to put into a category because the songs cover so many different genres. On one hand you have the emotionally charged "On Angel's Wings," a song she wrote about her mother's battle with Alzheimer's. Then you have the fun and light hearted "Bless His Heart." This song offers lessons in the southernly way to be polite while insulting someone to their face. With lyrics like "being nice and nasty, talkin' southern is an art. And you're still single? Darlin', bless your heart."

Then you have the poppish sounding "I'm Tellin' Ellen." A song about a two-timing guy who is about to be blown out of the water by a friend of the woman he's been dating. Hey, with an opening line like "I have disliked you from the day that we met," you can see where this one is heading. Another song worth mentioning is "One Mile Apart." It's a song about being rich, and being poor, yet only living one mile apart. She records this song in English as well as Spanish. It's a well rounded CD with a little something for everyone.
