{"product_id":"yonkers-ny","title":"Yonkers, NY","description":"Personnel: John Platania (electric guitar); Greg Leisz (dobro, mandolin); Seth Farber (accordion, piano); Tony Mercadante (electric bass); Tony Leone (drums).\u003cbr\u003eAudio Mixer: Huck Bennert.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: The Clubhouse, Rhineback, NY.\u003cbr\u003eAs a songwriter, Chip Taylor has never seemed to be able to rest on his considerable laurels. Since his return to music in 1996, he's made a series of roots music records, including those with Carrie Rodriguez and Kendel Carson, that have all been critically acclaimed. YONKERS, NY, a double-disc set, may be his most ambitious album to date. Nearing 70, Taylor writes a lot about the past here as he looks back on his life and times in that little suburb just north of the Bronx where he and his brothers -- actor Jon Voight and geologist Barry Voight -- grew up, and reveals some family secrets along the way. The band includes guitarist John Platania; Greg Leisz on pedal steel, mandolin, and dobro; bassist Tony Mercadante; pianist and accordionist Seth Farber; Carson on fiddle; and drummer Tony Leone -- and the music is drenched in classic Americana: folk, country, and rockabilly. On the 11-track set, Taylor recounts his adventures musically and, in some tracks -- such as the opening \"Barry Go On (Put Yourself on the Mountain)\" and \"Bastard Brothers\" -- he recounts spoken stories. There are brief written commentaries on the songs in the deluxe hardbound lyric and photo booklet as well.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52278862676255,"sku":"670501003321","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9a415d5da1f481c1d19a462f24665f00_c05993bc-9085-4032-abfc-db547b6c8615.jpg?v=1777890760","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/yonkers-ny","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
