Bad Debt

In 2010, M.C. Taylor recorded this spiritually powerful and austere album, a forerunner to the well - known Hiss Golden Messenger albums Haw (2013) and Poor Moon (2011). He used a portable cassette recorder at the kitchen table of his pine - surrounded home in rural Piedmont, NC. It was the middle of winter during the financial crisis, a time when debt's serious economic, political, and personal impacts were terrifying for many workers globally, especially in the American South. With his one - year - old son Elijah sleeping nearby, Taylor explored debt, doubt, and family in new ways, reinventing his songwriting style.
