Kim Taylor is a smoky-voiced, singer-songwriter from Southern Ohio known for her folk pop songs and haunting live performances. With three acclaimed albums to her credit, she’s shared stages with artists ranging from Kris Kristofferson to Ollabelle and Ben Sollee and has appeared on
NPR’s World Cafe Live. Her latest release,
Love’s A Dog, explores loss and the complexity of human relationships as Taylor examines what she describes as “love’s weird ups and downs.”
“My dogs became an icon for this record, representing both irritation and loyalty,” she said. “They compel me to reflect on my human relationships but sometimes they just drive me completely nuts. This is also pretty much how I see love.”
The album is partially inspired by her theatrical debut in Matthew Porterfield’s
I Used to Be Darker, which features her and
Ned Oldham in the lead roles. A track from the album, “Like a Woman Can,” is being
offered for download now at Paste Magazine.
