Product Description

The Jackson Taylor Band has gone through many line ups over the

last few years. The one constant though has been singer/songwriter

Jackson Lee Taylor. Jackson's passion for music began as a little

boy in Moody, Texas, a small town just north of Austin. His father

would take him to see the greats such as Willie, Billy Joe Shaver

and Waylon. These musicians planted a deep seed in the heart and

mind of that young boy. Jackson was heart broken when he and his

father moved to California to find work on fruit ranches. He and

his father spent the rest of Jackson's adolescence bouncing from

one migrant labor town to another, finally settling in a small

farming town in Washington state. After high school, Jackson

moved back to Texas for a while before going to Nashville. There,

Jackson found work as a songwriter for Of music, and for legendary

song writer Dewayne Blackwell. After a couple of years, Jackson

had to face the hard truth that Nashville would not let him produce

and pick his own material. ("I ain't got nothing against Tim McGraw

or Mark Wills or none of those folks, but that just ain't the kind of

music I feel in my heart. If I am going to do something I don't care

to do, I might as well go back to school and a day job." ) Jackson

moved to New York City to play clubs, and found a vibrant live

scene. There Jackson met the owner of a small Southern

California label. Within a month of the meeting, Jackson was in the

studio recording "Humboldt County," a record dedicated to his

brother who had died there the year before. "Humboldt" got great

reviews and did well enough to gain attention from pop mogul

George Tobin. Jackson and Tobin struck a deal. After a year

Jackson realized Tobin was the same as the Nashville crowd;

whatever is on the radio is what you need to sound like. Jackson

and Tobin where never able to agree on a song selection or

sound, but they parted ways as friends. Jackson talked to his label

and told them he wanted to go back home to Texas. Gaske had

reservations, because Texas wasn't LA, Nashville or New York, but

Jackson said that was the whole point. Before leaving from Los

Angeles and heading to Austin, Jackson went into the studio and

recorded "Gypsies & Drifters." After getting settled in Austin,

Jackson had to go back up North for a few months to play previously

booked shows. While he was there he recorded his third CD

"Hollow Eyed & Wasted." Now Jackson is back in Texas where he

belongs, writing and producing the kind of music he was born to do.
