Details:
This is Taylor Harvey's second release of original songs and the songwriting reflects a strong maturity that demands to be taken seriously. The songs deal with love, life and death from the perspective of someone who's seen some of each and has come away with from it all with some smiles, some tears and some times worth writing about.

What makes this collection noteworthy is the addition of full-time players rather than studio musicians, hence The Taylor Harvey Band. It's clear to the ear that these songs were written for this band when you hear the agressive, driving beat of Jaron Lyon's drums coupled with Steve Campana's smooth bass laying the foundation for songs that have been compared to Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and REM. The top end is supplied by the intuitively melodic lead guitar work of Tim Edwards and Taylor's alternate use of electric and 12 string rhythm guitars.

The overall result is a CD that is not just listenable, but enjoyable, from top to bottom. Each song blends music and lyrics thoughtfully and completely, never leaving the listener feeling there should have been that "certain something" more. From the barrooms of San Diego to the concert halls of America, look for The Taylor Harvey Band to be making an appearance near you soon.
