Taylor Carson: Press

...Well-renowned indie rocker Taylor Carson traveled to the East Coast to promote his second album "Tangled in Truth." He is not afraid to reach new frontiers and sample bluegrass, reggae and rock...

As for Carson's performance, there was no arguing that his guitar skills were arguably superior to most that have been showcased on the VCS stage. His voice was reminiscent of the members of Hanson post - "MMMBop." He enticed the audience with songs such as "Lucky Tonight" and "Dance." The audience could sense Carson's passion for his music and it only kept them wanting more...

On his latest release, Carson strips down to just guitar and vocals to bring us a collection of songs that showcase his immense talent. Each song tells a story and you can really grab hold to the album because of it's organic and sensitive sound and feel.

What is your writing process like?
It’s so random. There is no process. It generally starts just noodling around on the guitar and I’ll just start humming or something. A lot of times I’ll start singing different ideas until I find that one line that sticks out to me and then based on that one line I build the song.

I read a quote on his MySpace page from a recent album review that said, "Generation X had Dave Matthews, Generation Y has John Mayer and Generation Z will have Taylor Carson." I was a little skeptical, being a John Mayer fan myself, but Taylor definitely surprised me and still has me wondering if that quote will pan out to be true.

His songwriting is sharp, his voice polished and his guitar work is subtle but accomplished. Carson compares favorably to obvious influences like John Mayer, and peers like Matt Nathanson, Jason Mraz and Gavin DeGraw.
