Songwriter/Producer offering up my own blend of roots, blues, soul, C&W &folk with a retro twist. New songs come out frequently so at least my brain is working.

I come to @jtaylorband for the music and stay for his hot/controversial takes.😁
Today's #SongOfTheDay goes out to Piers Morgan. "You Talk Too Much" by @OfficialRunDMC, the second hip hop artists to be (so deservedly) inducted into @rockhall. youtube.com/watch?v=fNiN-Vvn…

Walter Lewis, born on this day in 1893, was a blues pioneer and an originator of the bottleneck slide guitar style. Today's #SongOfTheDay is "Furry Sings The Blues" by @jonimitchell youtube.com/watch?v=ionRca6T…
Today is the date of birth of the legendary #Blues singer/songwriter and flatpicking guitarist Doc Watson. He was a living encyclopedia of traditional American music, raising awareness of traditional songs his whole life. youtube.com/watch?v=6VAbrnjd… #SongOfTheDay Deep River Blues
Most of you may not know Grammy-winning @TheLarryCarlton, but you've certainly heard him. His guitar work is featured on more than 100 gold records including some signature work on this classic Steely Dan tune "Kid Charlemagne". youtube.com/watch?v=a7kduNih…
Happy Birthday Larry!

Thank you
Sam Cooke blended soul and gospel and created this gem of a tune. Then throw in some deep background vocal from jazz-R&B singer Lou Rawls and it becomes a double-shot of vintage soul. youtube.com/watch?v=g3ncYwts… #SongOfTheDay
Staying with the #Blues again for today's #SongOfTheDay. I had never heard of Junior Kimbrough until 20 years ago in NYC when I came upon a CD in a music store and purchased it unheard. His voice and tone was mesmerizing and hypnotic. youtube.com/watch?v=IuzNX4ZS…
Going way back for today's #SongOfTheDay. The pioneer blues artist Memphis Minnie is often overlooked in the history of blues, but she could pick a guitar and sing as good as anyone and wrote around 200 songs including Hoodoo Lady Blues. youtube.com/watch?v=Yhis33IO…
It's Monday, I know. "Work it out!" with some help from @speedometerfunk music.youtube.com/watch?v=G8… #HappyMonday #SongOfTheDay
Did you know that true love asks for nothing? It's hard to narrow down my favourite @StevieWonder tune, but this one definitely ranks near the top. youtube.com/watch?v=eLbmdG8U… #SongOfTheDay Enjoy the groove and please keep warm/stay safe
Here's a funky cover penned by the legendary @mickeynewbury as soulfully sung by the late and perennially great @sharonjones along with the @The_DapKings. youtube.com/watch?v=lWaKjzh0… I dare you to stand still during this tune. #SongOfTheDay
Today's song of the day is this powerful one about the great abolitionist leader, John Brown. "Give the power to the people!" youtube.com/watch?v=l21V19U4… @marcribotmusic @FreeSongSinger #SongOfTheDay
