''Gorilla'' is charts. This would be his second-to-last release of new material for Warner Bros. Records , his last being '' In The Pocket ''. In many ways, ''Gorilla'' showcased Taylor's electric, lighter side that was evident on his previous album ''Walking Man''." ''Gorilla'', however, is arguably a more consistent and fresher sounding Taylor with classics such as "Wandering" and "Angry Blues." His wife Carly Simon is featured on "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" originally recorded by Marvin Gaye .
