Crash Taylor - Is a 'Retired Outlaw'

Has Crash Taylor become a 'Retired Outlaw' because of Covid?

Crash Taylor shows up with nothing to prove and with everything that stirs the heart to share. Husky baritone mixed with seasoned guitar playing, the music will strike a chord for any Folk / Rock lover, but the wholeness of his presence in every phrase will make you wonder if a genre is needed to describe it. Crash Taylor will bring you to the present moment and leave you with truths you forgot to remember.
Starting on banjo at age fire, Crash quickly became an active participant in his family’s traditional music scene.

Whether in family life, social occasions or holidays the focus was always centered around music. Public performance began at age eight with the family band Generation Gap, performing at ice cream parlors and church and town gatherings. This created a solid background in performance which he began hurling at Rock audiences beginning in his teens.Crash began writing poetry and songs before the age of ten, the devotion and attention to songwriting has led to over one thousand songs in many different genres.

Politics, creativity, love, family relations and just telling a good story have inspired a relationship with the art of writing and an ease with the insanity that is creativity. Crash’s first recording, “Crash Taylor” was a project he did for himself with no plans to release it. Over the years he has recorded hundreds of songs with great players in great studios, but was always too restless to try and market them. Covid travel restrictions put a chill in his venturesome lifestyle and he wrote a book and decided to release an album. How Crash managed a creative relationship with survival while making art for art's sake is probably best revealed in the book 'Pot Dot Com'.
