For over 40 years Taylor has been considered to be the consummate performer, a writer of literary gracefulness whose troubadour chronicles encapsulate the realism of otherwise unsung heroes, otherwise uncharted lives. Few can convey life experiences with such eloquence; songs written from a lifetime of travelling " each song a vignette of life, a story over a drink in a bar. With a back catalogue of 20 albums/CDs and over 100 covers of his songs, Taylor stands at the forefront of the acoustic music scene.
