While their significant individual accomplishments are also profiled here, Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez collaborated for several magical albums in the 2000’s.

An essential New Yorker, Taylor became a Texas songwriter for a while, and Rodriguez’ songwriting skills seemed to blossom through their collaboration.
