Taylor's acclaimed recent release, The Legend of Kung Folk (Iris Records) reveals the humor, wit and skill of a singer-songwriter who's comfortable in both his own skin and with his musical legacy. Guests include Morcheeba vocalist Skye Edwards, UK artist Jamie Cullum and more.
Taylor's songs range from a sonically spacious acoustic piano/vocal duet with Cullum, "After It's Over," to the enormous stacked background vocals on "She's Gone," to the tongue-in-cheek sexuality of "Wicked Way," ironically sung from a woman's point of view, and the uplifting "You're The One For Me." Check out a live version of "Wicked Way," just selected as iTunes #2 folk track for 2008
