Release Notes:
BenÆs latest effort, Listening, seamlessly merges the sounds and styles
of folk, pop, soul, urban, reggae and country/western, running the gamut
from sonically spacious acoustic numbers to multi-layered vocals and
fresh beats. The honesty of BenÆs music is led by what is often
described as his tuneful and expressive voice, the kind of voice that
makes its impact with the smallest turn of a whispered phrase.
Ben Taylor's memorable melodies, immaculate acoustic guitar playing and
insightful, honest lyrics have been captivating fans since the moment he
embarked on this journey ten years ago. Being the son of James Taylor
and Carly Simon, music has always played a central role in BenÆs life.
His wit and skill as a singer-songwriter showcases an artist who is
comfortable in both his own skin and with his impressive musical legacy.
His acclaimed previous releases comprise his debut album 2003Æs Famous
Among The Barns, 2005Æs Another Run Around The Sun, and 2008Æs The
Legend of Kung Folk, Part 1 (The Killing Bite). Highlights from his
previous albums include appearances on Good Morning America, The Tonight
Show, The CBS Early Show, Last Call with Carson Daly and Howard Stern.
Ben also made his acting debut with a recurring role on NBCÆs American
Dreams and has appeared in the pages of People Magazine, Vogue and even
on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. His reviews and raves have been
steady for over a decade now with more to come. Ben Taylor has
previously toured with Sheryl Crow, Blues Traveler and Ziggy Marley
among others.
