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!

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.

Robin Trower cover. I make no excuses for the number of licks I learned from Robin Trower.
Be sure to listen carefully towards the end when some horney, white girls will sing you into their beds!!!!!
Always been a fan of John Prine and next to Sam Stone this was one of my favorites. Done with a slight hip hop beat to it.
All tracks played by me....in my studio....in my office....at home.
Yeah, I'm kinda low budget...
This is the first thing I recorded using the telecaster you can see in my profile pic. It's a one-take jam played over one of those guitar magazine backing tracks. Thanks for the listen :-)

A little jazz-funk for your delectation. My homage to Jeff Beck's 1975 masterpiece album "Blow By Blow". The title is the name of a Lee Child book I was reading at the time I was writing the tune.
That's even cooler if you can program drums all by yourself. I just tap them out on my midi keyboard sometimes, or whack a snare drum, add some reverb and pull it back in the mix. About THE WINNOWING, I don't know if it's obvious but I sang all the parts.

This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:
"The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
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.
Nicely done mate sounds like a very cool bar.
First Class James.
Wow - Killer vocal melody and awesome harmonies. I frickin' love it!

I really like this. Good solid beat with a lot of interesting strings and very clean vocal. Great mix.
Oh, Mamma...
Great the way you get your voice to shine thru all the music. Great production/mix.
Beautiful song very effectively sung.
Love your delivery.
Has a Townes Van Zandt sadness about it.
You need to get in touch with Jody Jones to get a slot at the songwriter showcase at the Magnolia in Fort Worth on Monday nights.
The new John Renborn.
Lost my mom a couple of years ago. I understand your playing with so much feeling. I try to hold on to my mom by singing in her clear sweet voice.
Great picking.
That's relaxing...
So well said.
That's even cooler if you can program drums all by yourself. I just tap them out on my midi keyboard sometimes, or whack a snare drum, add some reverb and pull it back in the mix. About THE WINNOWING, I don't know if it's obvious but I sang all the parts.
...and now you are going nashville on us. What range you have!
Could be the theme music for one of those007 movies. Very English.
Welcome to Alonetone. And thanx for listening to my songs. I like this. So sparse. So nimble when you go to the second guitar. Are those live drums?
This is very popie/r&B. Sounds like a fun one to sing. I might have posted LAYLA back when i first recorded it. Can't remember
Yeah, imaginary lovers are easier to keep around.
