Still Rockin in the Same Ol' Way
Rock & roll, boogie-woogie, ballads, swing and good original jive, difficult to find nowadays, performed by one of the most charismatic British musicians of that genre. Dave Taylor is a good singer and a genuine piano player, who represents the classic fifties style, with more than thirty years of experience and a good number of records behind him. The CD includes twenty tracks where you will find own compositions together with, among others, Moon Mullican’s, Bobby Boulter’s or Lou Willie’s ones. Songs belong to different moments of Taylor’s life, from “Schooldays” –recorded in 1975- to the recent ones that come from 1999, all them performed on a convincing determined way thanks to the good work of a bunch of professional musicians who know what they are doing and how to get it.
Dave Taylor is backed by a horn section including tenor, alto and baritone sax, trumpet and trombone, plus guitar, pedal steel, string arrangements, acoustic bass, drums and different instruments in some tracks such as flute, violin, viola, cello, accordion… and so on. A CD that should be taken into account. GREAT.
