Details:
For 21-years Wayne Taylor served as emcee, lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the U.S. Navy band, Country Current, a job that accorded him the enviable opportunity of performing at state functions for four U. S. Presidents. In addition to providing entertainment for virtually every major head-of-state, Wayne participated in a command performance in Beijing for Chinese dignitaries and performed for the King and Queen of Sweden.
Although his audiences may be less “heady” since his recent retirement from the Navy, his love for the music has, in no way, diminished. Always a highly touted songwriter and lead singer, his newly-gained, less regimented civilian life has spurred his lyrical skills and vocal talent to new heights. Of the 11 songs Wayne contributed to the album, all can be rightfully labeled as “highlights.” Whether it’s “Heaven’s Door,” a divinely inspired message, embedded in what can only be described as an indelible melody; or “Rabbit,” the whimsical tale of a “wascally wabbit” who eludes his inept, would-be captor; or the ingeniously constructed “Dirt Roads,” (co-written with David Parker) a metaphorically titled tune that’s guaranteed to induce prolonged periods of nostalgia, you’ll agree after one listening that this CD is an award-winning production.
Each song is an appealing musical tapestry as the seasoned band members artfully intertwine their instrumental genius with the lyrics to create an aural masterpiece. No where is this better demonstrated than on “I’m Gonna Be,” where Emory Lester (mandolin), Dave Giegerich (Dobro), and Mark Delaney (banjo) interject back-to-back-to-back breaks that are nothing short of awesome. Kip Martin provides a rock-solid bass foundation for the band throughout.
This CD will appeal to all bluegrass fans. Wayne Taylor and Appaloosa are an inspired, innovative group of traditionalists, who never venture too far from their roots, while elevating the music we love to a new plateau.
