The offspring of Cohen, Dylan and Wainwright have all made albums in recent years. Now comes Ben Taylor, with the advantage of a double dose of the ’60s troubadour gene. But perhaps that makes life even harder: you won’t be surprised to learn there’s nothing here to match the old man’s “Fire And Rain” or mom’s “You’re So Vain”.
