Lyrics:

Been feeling mighty down
Sun setting on the day
My mind grows weary
Feel the burning weight
I once was happy
I felt no pain
I had a roof
To shelter me from the rain
Well my coat is torn
Seems come undone
My cup is empty
Can you spare some love
I'm down and out
Not a penny in change
I should leave this place
Ain't no use in staying
My soul is weary
And my heart worn
Ain't slept in days
No house and no home
Well my coat is torn
Seems come undone
My cup is empty
Can you spare some love
So sit down beside me
Spare a second of your time
I don't need a penny
I don't need a dime
And i'll tell you my story
Not a word of a lie
It's a tale of sadness
And a wasted life
Well my coat is torn
Seems come undone
My cup is empty
Can you spare some love

At age 26, Cassie Taylor is already a veteran musician. She’s spent a decade playing bass and singing on stage and in the studio with her father, modern-day #blues innovator Otis Taylor. And now, with the May 7, 2013 release of her new album Out of My Mind on Yellow Dog Records, Cassie stakes her own claim as an artist of intelligence, power and soul.

The album finds Taylor defining her own creative identity within a dozen songs that balance passion, grace and humor with a broad embrace of sounds and musical styles consistently steeped in the #blues. From Delta bedrock to the fringes of electronica to the driving spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, Taylor draws on all of her influences — which span centuries, continents and cultures — to create indelible stories like the edgy and compelling two-part drama “Ol’ Mama Dean” and the celebration of life and love “Forgiveness,” which struts over a blithe Crescent City beat. Organ, trumpet, tuba and even Theremin make cameo appearances in the mix alongside the core bass, drums and guitar sound of her trio, all supporting a voice that’s angelic, haunting, raw and full-blooded.

“I like to think I see things differently,” says Taylor, who will tour behind the album this spring. “The #blues is the basis of all American music and of everything that I do. It’s a tradition, passed down from generation to generation. Some people say I’m not #blues enough, but I’m a 26-year-old woman with very light skin living in the 21st century. Had Muddy Waters grown up when I did perhaps his music would sound a lot like mine. When Memphis Minnie was coming up they didn’t have electronic music or rock ‘n’ roll, and it was impossible to buy West African psychedelic rock records. I listen to everything from old #blues to punk to drum ‘n’ bass to my father’s music, and it’s all become part of me.”

Drums and Theremin open the album, the latter conjuring the sound of a prison siren on “Ol’ Mama Dean (Part 1).” It’s the story of a woman on death row, and rides a tide of grinding guitar paired to Taylor’s soaring voice. “Ol’ Mama Dean (Part 2)” follows, providing a backstory of harrowing domestic violence finally quelled by a bullet. Taylor’s effects-colored singing adds a grainy, grizzled texture to her voice that sets the story’s tone.

“This is the first song I wrote from my own conscience,” she explains. “It was inspired by a documentary about women in prison, and in particular about one woman who suffered at the hands of a violent husband until she killed him, accepting that she’d go to jail for life.”
“Spare Some Love,” a dark minor-key #blues that hinges on the interplay of Taylor and Mignano as its first-person narrative of poverty unreels, follows. Taylor was inspired to write the song after playing 2012’s “Stomp the #Blues Out of Homelessness” benefit in Springfield, Missouri.

There’s also a pair of musical love letters. The first is for her parents. “Lay Your Head On My Pillow's gentle acoustic guitar melody and sweet devotional lyrics were written for their twenty-third anniversary. “It’s about their commitment to each other. Lasting couples go through so much. Also, when you’re broke and don’t know what to get your parents for a present, but you can write a song like this… It’s going to last a lot longer than a toaster.”

During her decade in her father’s band Taylor built the unique vocabulary of technique, ideas and influences that’s realized in Out of My Mind. “My first album was how that particular producer saw me then,” she explains, “but this album is my own vision of how I see myself now.” cassie taylor spare some love
