Over the last couple years, the songs of M.C. Taylor and Hiss Golden Messenger have served as constant companions. On their latest album, Heart Like a Levee (Merge Records), HGM offers up songs about responsibility and love, duty and struggle. Songs for these times (and all times). "You can't choose your blues," Taylor sings, "but you might as well own them."
