Respect the Dead is an album by the American musician Otis Taylor, released in 2002.[1][2] Taylor supported the album with North American tour.[3] Respect the Dead was nominated for a W. C. Handy Award for best contemporary blues album.[4]

Production

Recorded at Stepbridge Studios, in Santa Fe, the album was produced by Kenny Passarelli, who also played bass.[5][6] Eddie Turner played lead guitar.[7] Taylor's daughter, Cassie, contributed backing vocals to many of the songs.[8] All of the songs were written by Taylor.[9] Taylor was chiefly influenced by John Lee Hooker.[10] "32nd Time" traces the history of the civil rights movement in the latter half of the 20th century.[11] "Ten Million Slaves" is about the slave trade, told from the perspective of someone trapped in a fallout shelter.[12] "Three Stripes on a Cadillac" was inspired by a story of a drag race in Mexico that ended in death.[13]

The Province[18]
Regina Leader-Post[11]

The Ottawa Citizen wrote that "Taylor's both a history addict and social observer and he's way more interested in relating the stories of a people than he is in bad men- bad women tunes."[16] The Globe and Mail determined that, "while the hard-strummed minimalist brilliance of African is reprised here, Taylor, by giving more manoeuvre to his band, adds backing depth to a musical stream of historical consciousness."[19] Billboard called "Black Witch" "one of the most haunting (and haunted) blues songs tracked by anyone in recent memory."[20]

The Regina Leader-Post said that the songs "are built on driving repetition, one chord over and over towards some sinister end."[11] The Commercial Appeal stated that Respect the Dead "increases the jam-band quotient in Taylor's rootsy blend of Richie Havens folk, Dock Boggs old-time and John Lee Hooker blues."[21] The Province concluded that Taylor's "singing is fierce and his electric banjo work is the twanging-est ever."[18] The Washington Post wrote that Taylor connects "the droning, acoustic sounds of pre-World War II blues to the trance-like, amplified sounds of today's dance music."[22]

AllMusic noted that "Taylor doesn't work within standard blues structures, and his lyrics stray far from the standard blues lines to encompass history and mythology."[14]
