Willy Tea Taylor and The Turkey Buzzards with Hannah Juanita and Rachel Brooke (Solo)
$20.00
Willy Tea Taylor is a father, brother, and son. His remarkable ability to write subjects in a simple yet profound way makes his songs a great place to lose yourself. Much of that comes from his upbringing surrounded by rolling hills and horses in a small town in California known as the “Cowboy Capital of the World”.
There is no question that Willy Tea Taylor’s life as a singer/songwriter was predetermined – his role realized the moment he wrote his first song. His inspirations drawn from two separate wells; Living the life of a cattleman’s kid and experiencing true visionaries music like Greg Brown, John Hartford, and Guy Clark. The image of Guy Clark and friends sitting around the kitchen table loaded with ashtrays full of butts, half-smoked cigarettes, food, and booze on one Christmas Eve in 1975 burned into Taylors’s soul. Those guys, swapping songs without pretense, lit Willy Tea’s fire. And ever since, its led purpose with passion – finding a hang by curating relationships through musical friendships that get him closer to his own Clark style kitchen table.
The Turkey Buzzards- "Much like the duo themselves, the songs range near and far, from the sticky humidity of the Carolinas to the arid and dusty cellars of the West, telling stories of simplistic beauty that unravel through gritty vocals and thoughtful harmonies. The bare authenticity of each song sweeps up the listener for a ride that might wander but will certainly not end in the same place where it began." The Turkey Buzzards are currently finishing a third album and will be touring the US Spring and Summer.
Hannah Juanita- "... Juanita's become a shining light in the booming trad-country scene and marked herself out as the one to watch." - Holler
"Throwing it all the way back to the era when you had no choice but to be good if you wanted to make country music, Hannah Juanita turns in this classic country record of eleven original songs backed by some superior musicianship that works like manna for those old souls out there." - Saving Country Music
"...for those of us that still get a tingle when they hear a honky-tonk rhythm, the unique sound of a pedal steel and a sublime country voice, Hannah Juanita is a very welcome new addition to the list of performers still flying the flag for traditional country music. 'Hardliner’ is a great country album, nothing more, nothing less. If you’re a fan of ‘real’ country music, you’ll love it – guaranteed." - Americana UK
Rachel Brooke 2023 Ameripolitan Award Winner "Best Outlaw Female""Understanding the deep well of talent that is Rachel Brooke, a country singer from Michigan, will not disappoint, but she will ask you to check your more conventional expectations at the door. Your reward is a chance to join in on a midnight jaunt through graveyards and dreams, awhirl with Jungianshadows, headstrong grit, and gothic Americana being made by ladies with guns. Brooke wants clearly to walk a line between the past and present. She does just that with her high-caliber musicianship which, while not chained by tradition, is unabashed by her indebtedness to the poetic souls of the past...In terms of Rachel Brooke, Nashville will be lucky to eventually discover her, but it will always be Detroit that really gets her." --Cat Celebrezze Perfect Sound Forever
