Ben Taylor is a young man with impeccable credentials. He grew up in a musical environment second to none. With Carly Simon for a mother and James Taylor as father, a career in the family business beckoned.
An accomplished performer who’s fresh from touring Europe with Tracy Chapman, the 29 year-old singer/songwriter steps into the main frame with his new CD ‘Another Run Around The Sun’ on Independiente, October 30th. Preceded by the ‘Lady Magic EP’ on September 18th, this is the perfect time to discover an impressive talent in waiting.
Featuring 11 melody-laden tracks, all infused with an unflinching lyrical honesty, ‘Another Run Around The Sun’ is Ben’s most definitive, earthy work to date. Recorded in London’s RAK studios, it was produced by both Kevin Bacon & Jonathan Quarmby and explores an acoustic, stripped-down sound. His aching vocals strike an uncanny resemblance to that of his father’s, but with songs that explore recurring themes of “love and loss”, this is pure Ben Taylor – his own man.
