Donald Reid - In A Taxi Home
14 May 2006 // A review by laneem
"Reid has a way with a melody that is as natural and unforced as Neil Finn, and his songs have that great virtue: big, identifiable and memorable choruses. You need only hear the title track of this impressive album once and you'll remember it forever."Graham Reid
It must be something in their genes – the Reid family have done it again; they have produced yet another very talented musician.
Introducing DONALD REID with his debut release IN A TAXI HOME…
An album full of pop and rock ballads that brings together a collection of some of today's foremost Kiwi Musicians – brother James (of The Feelers fame) and Mike Franklin-Brown (of Pluto fame) to name a couple.
Love, Life, Friendships, Travel, Suicidal Friends and Time; Donald covers it all in what should definitely be one hit of a debut album!
In a Taxi Home is a spectacular debut that displays raw kiwi talent at it's best. It is a collection of songs that will put other kiwi albums to shame. The range of songs and the delivery of the performance is of international standards. There is something for everyone.
Songs to have on repeat; 'Not a Love Song' – definitely not some "clichéd bullshit", the title track 'In a Taxi Home' and an absolute winner of a track; 'Loser'.
Whether it's chilling out on a lazy Sunday, or entertaining your bunch during the week, In A Taxi Home should definitely be your choice of background sound.
