From Eric's new album, "Live At The Red Shack", a live retrospective featuring guests such as Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith and others, "Dean Moriarty" is a song based on the character in Kerouac's "On The Road", based on Neal Cassady. Speaking of the album, Mike Penard of American Roots Music (ISA Radio, France) says, "I have rarely listened to a live album with such a sound ...Eric 's voice on all these so good songs and the sound of the electric guitar create a very unique atmosphere ... honestly this CD will last as something unique, it is magical, it is an extraordinary moment, in the literal meaning of the word. It is pure beauty." Eric Taylor is a sage musician, a lyrical genius and a master of the guitar. If you're familiar with the intricate Texas singer/ songwriter jigsaw puzzle, you probably already know a lot about Taylor. If you're not familiar with Taylor by name, you've probably heard his songs performed by people such as Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett. He has created a multitude of fans and devotees that are legends themselves in the singer/songwriter realm, artists who have long considered Taylor to be a teacher and a lantern bearer whose time is long overdue.. + Informações

"To say that Eric Taylor is one of the finest writers of our time, would be an understatement," Nanci Griffith says. "If you miss an opportunity to hear Eric Taylor, you have missed a chance to hear a voice I consider the William Faulkner of songwriting in our current time." Taylor grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and started playing soul music in his early years, steeping himself in the rich cultural heritage of the black South. "I've written poetry all my life," Taylor recounts. "When I learned how to play guitar, it was a natural progression to write songs." "Music lured me away," says Taylor. "I thought I'd make my way to California like everybody else back then but I ran out of money and ended up in Houston." The musical environment in Houston during the '70s was just what Taylor needed to inspire him. Taylor learned intricate blues guitar stylings from music legends Lightnin' Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb and Mississippi Fred McDowell while working at the Family Hand club. Later, he developed his own unique guitar picking style, one that would be imitated by many of his contemporaries from the early Houston days, such as Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Robert Earl Keen, Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, and Nanci Griffith. "There were no lines drawn in the sand between musical genres in Houston back in those days," Taylor remembers. "You were just a musician. I believe so many great writers came out of that scene because you could learn from others. Isn't that the point of this whole .... + Informações

The great song "Joseph Cross" by Eric Taylor from his 1981 album "Shameless Love." I bought the album that year, and this song has been a favorite of mine ever since. Joseph Cross (6:15) Vocal, Guitar: Eric Taylor Cello: John Hagen Joseph Cross lyrics (from the LP inner sleeve) There's word from the café that the old mans ailin' His eyes are pailin' and the weather took his hands They say the ring on his finger was shaped from a bone from some white man in Missouri that spilled whiskey on his wife [chorus] He has traveled in a sacred circle and he has traveled on a white man's train He's killed for hunger his buffalo brother He's killed for anger and a white man's name His name was Joseph Cross and he was raised by the mission Just one of a hundred Indian boys that wouldn't tie his shoes He cried the night his grandpa died and told him in a vision "Stay close to the ways of the rattlesnake stay close to the ways of the grizzly." [repeat chorus] In the 1919 chill of December the bear and the rattler coil sleepin' hardly breathin' It's a penny to the kitchen boy to run get sister Lydia "Now you tell her that old Indian is sleepin', hardly breathin'." [repeat chorus] Someone said it just weren't right to give him a white man's funeral. Someone said they'd just as soon as not float him on down the river But no one touched the ring and no one said a thing about his chest where it looked like a bear had ripped him and a rattler kissed his cheek. [repeat chorus] Because .... + Informações

When the boatmen stole the Africans Did your God ride or row? When they roped them and they shackled them Was he with them in the hold? Was the ocean moon so beautiful That it brought him to his knees? What did your God see? When she prayed out loud in Cherokee Was that your God by the fire? When she swayed up there in the sweet gum tree Was he hangin' up there beside her? Did he bless the silver rivers? Did he fix himself a drink? What did your God see? If I sing hallelujah, will he hold my hand? Can we dance among the blessed and the damned? When the glory train is movin' on to Beulah Land Can I ride as far as Andilar and come on back to town? Did your God ride the bullet To the old Lorraine Motel? Is it the blood of the lamb, is it another man down, Did he catch him as he fell? Did he calm the waters? Did his heart just freeze? What did your God see? Did your God ride the backroads On a Texas summer night? Did he stand there in the pine grove As they drug him out of sight? Did he stand for the last communion? Did he kneel to wash his feet? What did your God see? If I sing hallelujah, will he hold my hand? Can we dance among the blessed and the damned? When the glory train is movin' on to Beulah Land Can I ride as far as Andilar and come on back to town?. + Informações

Mother was a Pentecostal, Carl was the family friend He was livin' down in Addison, he was tryin' to pull his cotton in. My little sister Mary she looks just like Carl back when We drove him home from Addison, pulled him out of jail again. Chorus: Home life, man and wife, kids and a Motorola I'm a broken doll, fix it, Carl, I can't live like this no more now I ain't built like this and you know it now. Clean sheets on the clothesline, little shoes by the bed Say your prayers to Jesus, close your eyes and bow your head Sometimes they drank Four Roses, sometimes the Old Grand Dad They never drank in the mornin', but sometimes I wish they had. Chorus Carl had a way with the cotton, Mother had a way with the words And I had my way with a red-haired Catholic girl Mary and her blue stick pony hardly ever said a word Took it all in and never let on what they heard. Chorus It was like the sun came up one mornin' and never went down again Burned a hole through Oklahoma and the cotton up and disappeared We were diggin' holes in the Dust Bowl, we were searchin' for a deeper well Mother prayed for water, but there weren't no water anywhere. Chorus Mary bought a ropin' saddle, I bought a new four-ten Oh, buddy, when the well came in Mother bought a house in Bangor, Maine, Carl hit the road again Oh, buddy, when the well came in.
