This is a strong and definite feeling song. The heavy down beat, the lyrics the no-nonsense guitar
playing. You mean business here! Yeah!

There was this biker bar called The 2500 Club. Just west of Sylvania on Belknap. On a sign outside it says, "The best little biker bar in Texas." Guthrie and Rick and I played there long enough to get to feeling pretty much like family.

I found this Tangelwood guitar locally in a repair barn
its a parlor with 12 frets to the body
the top wood is cedar, this guitar can sing
I am sharing its beauty with you for free
A little celestial inspiration for this song.... I started it and Greg and Mark helped me finish it and then record around my kitchen table. Feel free to howl if you like it!

I MISTOOK IT FOR THE MOON Capo @ 2 Key D (Play in C positions)
I was coasting across West Texas/Had my top down, it was late at night

I love the"Mistook Moon" song! Like one of your fans commented, it's both a story and magical! Definitely a sense of the magical. I relate to the voice of the song... my vision is so wonky these days, when I am riding w/ Greg or Shanna (my red-heaired daughter) I have had a couple of screaming scares (terrifying my driver) thinking an odd play of light and shadow was another car we were about to hit full speed! So I can understand, mistaking a train for the moon. Only for me it would have been reversed: I would have screamed and duckedin terror from the moon! Gwyn Henry

So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
I love your stuff. Obviously born from pain and regret that was real. Thanks for making it through and turning it into something good.
Very Nice!!
This drew me in from the first few bars and held me to the end
Absolutely brilliant mate really dig this.
This is great. Wonderful guitar work, love the tempo, most touching lyrics. Great stuff!
Awesome storytelling young fella. Super harmonies.
My...how did you get Crosby/Nash to sing bg vocals? Brighter days, JMT.
Pert' Good. (instruments over modulated)
can't figger out why you ain't a star, but then maybe you are -- feel free to use.
You must follow this song with "Peggy's Gone".
Great song and the harmonies are to die for
I love the backing vocal again. This is a strong and definite feeling song. The heavy down beat, the lyrics the no-nonsense guitar playing. You mean business here! Yeah!
Overall sounds warmer than what you were doing before. Good song too.
new platform? Cool. I do Logic too.
Nice one mate great vocals nicely done.
have a soft spot in my heart for lesbian biker chicks James (which does me no good). Great song!
Awesome!!!!
Nice grabbing intro. James, this is a brilliant track. Love the lyrics, melody and tempo. Recipe for perfection.
Cool song, almost have a Neil Young voice going on there.
Cool tune.

Nice electric guitar work on Every one I need to talk to. My favorite so far. Same with But The Sun. The lyrics and the melody. Nuno
I remember Johnny Broke An Axel. Loved it then. Love it now. Nuno
Honk: Nice little rocking riff. Sleepy Head: Nice lullabye. Nuno
The 4 shorts Dying's Not Easy, Miss Her, Broccoli and Kite. Like snapshots from and old camera turned to music. Nuno
All in all, a very good album. The melodies and harmonies blending together with the moody acoustic ad electric guitar. A very visual album. Nuno
Nuno Santos Going through an album of old dusty snapshots...
How can something be so beautiful, yet so fleeting?
Sweet...
So mournful. Well done. The tides are tugging on the threads of my sleep..." great image.
Love is a bitch.
Been there! So sorry. We are so foolish.
Soooo sad.
Just "WoW!"

WoW! Rock on! Great crisp guitar. You must come over some time and make one of my guitars sound like that.resting break...huge.
This is fun...
No bs Lyle Lovette? It’s got a cool groove. Kind of reminds me of Ray Wylie or James McMurtry style. Dana Deathridge

Martha Es I love it!! That's an amazing song! It's emotional, but also mystical magical. I like how you put the lyrics with the song.
